2027: Rep Urges Atiku, Obi to Step Aside for Tinubu!

2027: Rep Urges Atiku, Obi to Step Aside for Tinubu!

Reported by Marian opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media African

A Member of the House of Representatives representing Agege Federal Constituency, Dr. Wale Ahmed, has asked political heavyweights Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race to pave the way for President Bola Tinubu’s re‑election. [1]

Dr. Ahmed made the passionate claim in Abuja, arguing that any opposition from Atiku or Obi would only split votes and weaken chances of unseating APC’s candidate. [1]

“2027: Rep urges Atiku, Obi to step down for Tinubu,” he was quoted saying, emphasizing that national unity and continuing governance stability depend on consolidating opposition rather than fragmenting it. [1]

Political analysts say such calls reflect growing pressure within some circles for opposition leaders to form coalitions or make compromises in view of Tinubu’s perceived incumbency advantage and the challenges opposition parties face in coordinating a united front.

Sele Media Africa will continue to monitor responses from both the camps of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, as well as public reactions, to this unfolding story.
