A group known as the PDP Action 2023, has appealed to the party not to give its 2023 Presidential ticket to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
In a statement on Wednesday titled; “Atiku Should Not Waste PDP Ticket Again,” signed by the National Chairman of the Dr. Rufus Omeire, Atiku would ‘waste’ the ticket as he had no chances of winning the electoral exercise.
“The PDP Action 2023 warns once again, that to give Atiku Abubakar another chance as PDP Presidential Candidate is to ensure a clear defeat for PDP in 2023, and admonishes the former Vice-President of Nigeria not to deceive PDP members a second time.”
“In our last Press Statement, we frowned at Atiku for abandoning PDP members by running away to live in Dubai, after the elections, shielding himself from PDP members, only for him to resurface now that the Presidential primaries are at hand.”
“In his response, we are surprised Atiku claimed that his absence from Nigeria for so long was to acquire a Degree from Cambridge University.”
“On the contrary, the entire country is aware that he relocated to Dubai, where he even had his highly advertised COVID Vaccination even before the vaccine was available to ordinary Nigerians.”
“It is disingenuous for Atiku to claim that he was in school in Cambridge, London when he actually lived in Dubai. If he enrolled in University of Cambridge, for a part time course, he could have as well done the programme from Nigeria.”
