Onochie, the former media aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, prayed on Saturday, May 18, that the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections should step down for the flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP), Obi, in 2027.
Recall that in an interview with the BBC Hausa, Atiku, said his recent meeting with Obi was just the usual meeting between the opposition. He added that such meetings are healthy for the country’s democracy.
Reacting, Onochie said Atiku stepping down for Obi would make President Tinubu’s re-election easier.
She made this assertion in a post shared on her X page on Saturday, and sighted by Legit.ng.
Onochie tweeted:
“Our Father and our God. Yes, it’s me, your son.
“I pray that Atiku steps down for Obi, so that 2027 would be an easy job for APC re-election
“You know I never ask you for anything because you are a responsible father who provides for me, always.
“Thank you for answered prayer.”
Reno Omokri explains why Atiku won’t contest with Obi
In another development, Legit.ng reported that Reno Omokri said no northerner will agree to contest the presidency alongside Peter Obi in the 2027 elections.
According to Omokri, Atiku Abubakar, NNPP flagbearer Rabiu Kankwaso, and the former Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai will not be willing to work with Obi, as many speculated.
Omokri wondered about the significance of Obi’s rapprochement with northern powerbrokers in the PDP. He stressed that “right now, Peter Obi is tainted.”
