The 2023 presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and his counterpart from the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi have dismissed planning for the 2027 presidential election.
Atiku and Obi made the remark against the backdrop of their breakfast meeting in Yola, the Adamawa State Capital.
Atiku’s spokesman, Paul Ibe while speaking with some journalists disclosed that the meeting was a reunion of two old friends. He said the fact is that Obi accepted to be the keynote speaker at the 20th anniversary of AUN and the 16th Founder’s Day, which was a milestone. Obi is part of that celebration.
The university he added, was founded by Atiku Abubakar, who was more like his host but people think it is because of politics. Ibe said the truth is that politics cannot separate friends.
On his part, Obi’s media aide, Ibrahim Umar, said the meeting had no political undertone.
Umar hinted that they just invited him (Obi) to deliver a speech there and ihas nothing to do with politics.
