Atiku refutes rumours of stepping down presidential race for Obi

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has rejected claims that he has pulled out of the 2027 presidential contest, calling the reports false and misleading.Atiku, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023 election, was said in some reports to have stepped aside for Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate.The story also claimed that Atiku supported a one-term presidency for Obi in the interest of regional balance.However, Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, dismissed the report outright, describing it as fake news.Reacting on Saturday, December 27, Ibe posted a screenshot of the claim on his verified X account and wrote: “Fake news: Not on the menu!”This comes as reports indicate that Peter Obi now plans to formally join the ADC.
