2023: PDP warned against giving Atiku presidential ticket

Deji Adeyanju, coconvener of Concerned Nigerians Group, has warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against presenting Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate in 2023.

He noted that if the PDP fields Atiku as its 2023 presidential candidate, the party should be ready to remain in opposition for the next eight years as the current generation wants new faces.

Comrade Adeyanju made his views known in a series of tweets on Tuesday, 24th November.

He wrote:

“PDP must present a new face in 2023 to stand any chance because APC will be presenting a YOUNG PERSON and it will be easier to deceive Nigerians again

“If they allow Atiku to emerge, they will be in opposition for 8 more years. He should rest. The nation is tired of their set.

“Many of you just analyze Nigerian politics based on emotions as if you don’t know this country again. The people that will start the betrayal are PDP members. Didn’t many PDP people including Governors work against Atiku the last time.”

“I really want a new party to supernaturally emerge & wipe out APC & PDP but I don’t see any magic anywhere in the world making that happen in 2023. This is the political reality in Nigeria today. If you tell yourself otherwise, you are funny.

“I have nothing against Atiku & like I said during the 2019 election, he’s better than Buhari. In fact, anyone is better than Buhari. Atiku has nothing to offer in the new political reality of 2023 because the game has drastically changed.

“If the 2 major political parties keep presenting their worst, our country will keep going under. There are many things I can’t say here because many will misunderstand.”
