A media aide to former governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, Lere Olayinka, has suggested that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar should make sacrifices and support Peter Obi for the presidency in 2027.
Olayinka was responding to an X user, Mfaarees, that Obi should accept the Vice Presidential slot to Atiku.
He noted that Obi has what it takes to save Nigeria, adding that he and Atiku can defeat the forces of tyranny in Nigeria.
Mfaarees had said: “Peter Obi has what it takes to save this country. If he really cares about Nigerians, he should accept the VP slot with Atiku as President, they’re the only people who can defeat this great force of tyranny.”
Reacting, Lere posted: “Why can’t @atiku also make sacrifice and support @PeterObi for President?”
This is coming amid the proposed merger talks among top opposition leaders in Nigeria.
But Katchi Ononuju, a chieftain of the PDP, had declared that Obi won’t be a Vice Presidential candidate to Atiku.
