Ahead of the 2027 election, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Atiku Abubakar held a closed-door meeting with party stakeholders in review of the party’s way forward.
Atiku revealed that he was impressed with the party progress report.
In a terse post on X, the former vice president of Nigeria disclosed that he just received PDP stakeholders from Zone C Niger State, led by Hon. Nazir Abdullahi, on a courtesy visit to my residence in Abuja on Thursday evening.
“I’m very appreciative of their gesture and impressed with reports of the progress being made in promoting our party, the PDP, in Niger State,” he wrote.
Recently, Atiku, who was the PDP’s 2023 presidential flag bearer, has been under fire from party factions not to run for the 2027 presidency and for alleged anti-party activities in 2003, 2007, and 2014.
Chronicle NG reported that Diran Odeyemi, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party’s National Executive Committee, in an interview said that the ex-vice president’s participation in the 2023 presidential election and his perceived ambitions for 2027 were the causes of the PDP crisis.
Odeyemi charged the ex-Vice President to bury his ambition, adding that once the former vice president failed to declare interest in 2027, the crisis in the party would be over.
Lere Olayinka, Special Adviser on Public Communication to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday said the seed of antipartyism sown by Atiku still haunts the party.
Olayinka recounted that Atiku sowed the seed of anti-party in 2003, 2007, and 2014, in reaction to the claims by Atiku’s media aide, Paul Ibe, that Wike was involved in anti-party activities.
