2023 presidency: Atiku debunks presidential campaign rumors

Former vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 elections, Atiku Abubakar has reacted to a 2023 campaign poster of him that has surfaced online.

The said campaign posters presented the former Vice President as a unifier of Nigeria.

Reacting, Mr. Atiku said that his goal at the moment was ensuring that the PDP wins the upcoming governor election in Ondo State, a former aide, Paul Ibe told Daily Post.

According to Ibe: “The last time I spoke about this issue, I said Atiku was currently preoccupied with the Edo, Ondo election and thankfully, we are done with the Edo election and it was a victory for the PDP.

“Now Atiku Abubakar and other stakeholders of the party are focused on the Ondo election, and all these elections are important because it strengthens the party ahead of 2023.

“This is not the preoccupation of Atiku right now, and he’s not about 2023.

“By the way, even if Atiku will run for the presidency, it won’t be via a poster, so let’s not jump the gun by putting the cart before the horse, let’s deal with the current issue of which Ondo is just around the corner.”
