Shelve 2027 Ambition, Allow Younger People To Run – Bode George Tells Atiku by Bobloco: 4:08am On Feb 02
Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Deputy National Chairman, Chief Olabode George, has appealed to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to shelve his 2027 presidential ambition and allow younger Nigerians to run.

George made this appeal in an interview on Arise Television on Thursday.

According to George, Atiku would be 81 years old in 2027, and he would be too old at the time to govern the country.

The PDP chieftain noted that Atiku should be like a big uncle in the room, mentoring the younger ones instead of thinking about contesting in 2027.

George said, “My brother Atiku Abubakar was 77 years old last year, and by 2027 he will be 81 years old. Atiku should give room for younger Nigerians, who still have the energy and the brain to develop the country.

“Atiku should be in a situation where he plays like the big uncle in the room or the elder in the room.

“What would anybody carry me now to do because I’m heading to 80 years old and I want to go and be a minister? To do what?

“Let’s mentor the younger generation, and let’s be consistent with our strong belief in our party norms.

“No other party is as entrenched and national in all concepts as the PDP. In 2027, I can’t tell anybody not to contest, but our party must be definitive that the presidency must remain in the South since the North has finished its eight years,” he said.

Meanwhile, George also described the security situation in the country as “horrendous and heartbreaking.”

He called on President Bola Tinubu to call a meeting of retired military officers to devise solutions to tackle the current security challenges.

The PDP chieftain charged Tinubu to wake up and confront insecurity, saying he feels pity for the president for the “deluge of crises” before him.

According to George, the high level of insecurity has further underscored the need to have a state police, and “Tinubu must not shy away from that.”

George said, “We are failing on security, and I want to call on the President to invite all elders to come for a discussion. The issue of insecurity has become a national calamity.

“The president has to wake up. I pity him because he has this deluge of crises. Unfortunately, he cannot complain because it is the same party that is in power.

“The issue of insecurity can be resolved if those in power are honest and committed. The whole nation is in a state of quagmire. This is not an issue of the APC or PDP; everybody is affected.”

Atiku can never be president. He should give his backings to Peter Obi and remain an elder stateman.

That one is between 60 to 70 too. He is an oldie.

He is just as desperate. From APGA to PDP to Labour party. I won't be suprised if he changes party again before 2027.

The last election shows the most influential politicians in the country at this time. Atiku should do the honourable thing for once and listen to Olabode George. Support Peter Obi.

Meanwhile, LP shouldn't be in a hurry to talk about 2027. Focus on merger with PDP and NNPP. That's the only way the opposition can stop these lunatics in Aso Rock destroying Nigeria's economy. Tinubu is totally clueless!

Peter Obi should have the ticket of the merger party while Kwankwaso deputizes him. At least Kwankwaso knows by now that Peter Obi has by far more political influence than he can ever imagine.

Oga Bode, Atiku no the hear word.
Him go contest tire..
He was one of those people that ganged up against the last empathic president Nigeria had, seeing it as his shortest route to presidency. But now, karma has made him a serial contestant.

2027. Atiku will likely win if the economy still doesn't turn around.

The northern votes APC got in 2023 will be transferred to PDP. PDP also holds two states in the SW and a few in the SS and the SE.

Infact they will fight atiku to the extent that tinubu wil spend another 4 years again by split voting

Guys hear the truth....IT IS ONLY A MERGER THAT CAN KICK APC OUT ...don't argue with me. Then the reality of apc for another 4 years go hit u soon

The problem with people like Atiku is that, when they see Tinubu, they wonder how their mates can be CEO of Nigeria and they cannot. Nigeria is like a business to them so they will spend all they have for merger and acquisition of the property. Atiku won't give up because Buhari's story gave him hope and he thought he will get it this time. Now Tinubu has played on his intelligence by giving him 2nd place position so he thinks he can do it again. Biden or Trump will win and he will have his cardholders urging him to contest one more time since they do it in US. If he had Nigeria's interest at heart, what happened during PDPs primaries should have given him a signal but it's called coping mechanism of defeat. Atiku, good morning.

Leadership has nothing to do with age Biden is doing a great job in the US of A.

Obi’s recent tour is already making Atiku irrelevant even the FG have taken Obi’s criticism more seriously.

Not entirely true. If we still have a lot of smaller parties, votes will scatter (like we saw in the last election).

Just imagine how APC would have been beaten in the last election if PDP, LP and NNPP had been one party.

At the bolded. It's just common sense honestly. Same way a merger kicked out PDP after several attempts by Buhari.
