2027: Atiku Should Be Statesman, Quit Contesting…Equity Movement
The Equity Movement Turn by Turn (EMTbT) has called on Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar to retire from active politics and be the statesman that he is.
Chief Gaius Ezeh, the National Coordinator of EMTbT made the call in Awka on Thursday.
Ezeh urged Atiku to shelve his ambition to contest for president in 2027 and support Peter Obi who was best candidate to save Nigerians from their leadership induced challenges.
He said if Atiku contests, he would not disrupt the rotation principle which demands that presidency remained in the South, it would also increase the chances of the incumbent remaining in office.
“My plea to Atiku Abubarkar is that he should start playing the role of an Elder Statesman.
“This is important because if this country must move forward, we have to avoid the mistake of 2023,” he said.
Ezeh thanked Atiku Abubakar for his contributions to Nigeria political development but advised him to take a bow in the interest of the country and future generation.
