Presidency: It's time you quit ambition – NDC reacts as Atiku's son backs Tinubu

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Abu Agada, has mentioned it is time for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to surrender his ambition.

Agada was reacting to Atiku’s son, Abba’s determination to again President Bola Tinubu’s reelection bid in 2027.

Abba had unveiled his 2027 mobilisation plan within the six geo-political zones for Tinubu’s reelection.

The founder and chairman of Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation, HBTO, a political mobilisation and help platform had earlier defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

However, Agada described Abba’s transfer as very dangerous optics for the previous vice chairman and ADC’s presidential candidate.

Posting on X, he wrote: “A very bad optics. AA should give up his ambition at this point.”

Meanwhile, Atiku is a serious contender within the 2027 presidential election and has been tackling Tinubu’s insurance policies.

On a number of events, the ADC flag bearer had accused Tinubu of inflicting starvation within the nation.
