Gentle Vice President Atiku Abubakar is too passe to contest the 2023 presidential election on Peoples Democratic Occasion’s platform, says PDP chieftain Kassim Afegbua.

“Gentle Vice President Atiku Abubakar cannot pick the position of a perpetual candidate or legit aspirant one year in, one year out, of the salvage collectively as if the salvage collectively was established for him alone,” talked about Mr Afegbua in an announcement on Sunday.

He added, “It defeats all sense of good judgment for such an passe man to strive one more round of political contestation at a time the final feeling and mood within the nation helps a younger Nigerian from the Southern extraction of the nation.”

The PDP chieftain told Mr Atiku to stop his quest for the presidency and improve a young southern candidate.

Mr Afegbua additionally acknowledged that the salvage collectively must quiet improve a young southern candidate within the spirit of equity, equity, and justice.

“The southern geopolitical zones of Nigeria possess eminently licensed Nigerians and parade gargantuan minds who’re competent and in a position to select a shot on the #1 job,” he reasoned. “Those that are advancing a extraordinarily nebulous theory of seeing the northern inhabitants as a stimulant to select the sympathy of the North against the South are either blind to the precise demographics or, at handiest, correct playing the ostrich.”

Mr Afegbua insisted that “no one within the North must quiet pick away what belongs to the South,” claiming that can injure “the consciences and feelings of the common southerner.”

“(Atiku) Abubakar and his northern aspirants must quiet improve the aspiration of upwardly mobile and younger aspects from the South to waft the PDP flag,” talked about the PDP chieftain. 

He insisted that “something brief of such can be tantamount to standing good judgment on its head” and a deliberate strive to “undermine the collective hobby and aspirations of the southern aspirants.”
