2027 : I Will Step Down For Peter Obi If….. – Atiku Reveals

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has stated his willingness to step aside for Peter Obi if the ex-Anambra governor emerges as the African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) presidential candidate in 2027.

During an interview with Arise News on Wednesday evening monitored by Politics Nigeria, Atiku was asked explicitly if he would step aside if Obi wins the ADC presidential primary.

Atiku and Peter Obi are seen as the front-runners for the ADC’s presidential ticket.

Others, such as Rabiu Kwankwaso and Rotimi Amaechi, are also believed to be in the running for the ADC ticket.

Asked if he would step down for Obi, if the former Labour Party presidential candidate gets the ADC ticket, Atiku said, “Yes, I will step aside for any winner.”

Asked if “any winner includes Peter Obi”, Atiku said, “Of course, if he is a contender, why not?”

Further asked if it would not be difficult for him to do so since Obi was his vice presidential running mate, Atiku said, “What is difficult there? It is democracy. It is either you go through consensus or you go through election.

“You emerge through consensus or emerge through the electoral process.”
