The spiritual head of the INRI evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against giving former Vice President Atiku Abubakar its 2027 presidential ticket.
Primate Ayodele warned that PDP would die if Atiku 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 made several 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.
In 2023, Atiku came second after he was defeated by President Bola Tinubu in a keenly contested election.
