INRI Evangelical Church spiritual leader, Primate Elijah Ayodele, warns PDP against nominating former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as presidential candidate for 2027 election.
In a video shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Primate Ayodele cautioned that the PDP would face a significant setback if Atiku were to secure the party’s ticket.
According to the cleric, Atiku’s candidacy would spell disaster for the PDP, potentially leading to its political demise.
“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,” Primate Ayodele stated emphatically.
He further asserted that Atiku is not the right choice for the PDP, warning that if the party proceeds with him as their candidate, “politically, PDP is dead. That is the end of PDP.”
Atiku Abubakar, who served as Nigeria’s Vice President from 1999 to 2007, has made several attempts to ascend to the presidency.
Despite his efforts, he has yet to achieve this goal, with his most recent attempt in 2023 ending in defeat to President Bola Tinubu in a closely contested election.
