The spiritual head of the INRI Evangelical Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), not to contemplate fielding former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate in 2027.
Primate Ayodele warned that PDP would die politically if Atiku, the Adamawa state born politician emerged as its 2027 presidential candidate.
In a video shared on his X handle, Primate Ayodele said: “PDP, if you want to fail, give Atiku your presidency. You will see that you will fail. It is going to be a cheap victory for APC.
“Atiku is not the answer for the PDP in 2027. He is not the answer. If you try Atiku, then, politically, PDP is dead. That is the end of PDP.”
Atiku has been a perennial presidential candidate in his attempts to become Nigeria’s president.
While he emerged as the Vice President in 1999, every effort to occupy the highest political seat in Nigeria has failed to materialise.
In 2023, Atiku came second after he was defeated by President Bola Tinubu in a keenly contested election.
