Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has responded to a comment by a chieftain of the party, Chief Bode George that he should forget about running for the presidency in 2027 but rather wait for 2031.
In statement on Wednesday, George had said: “A southerner must occupy the office of the President and Commander in Chief from 2023 to 2031 because that is the reality of our country, PDP constitution, and our polity.
“Even in 2027, Atiku will be 81 years and this is the time for him to embrace President Joe Biden’s concept of allowing the younger generation to run for the highest office in the land.
