A former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has been mocked by a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ayekooto Akindele.
Akindele claimed Atiku is desperatedly shopping for a Southern running mate.
He was reacting to the possibility of Peter Obi becoming Atiku’s running mate in 2027.
In what seems like a mockery, Akindele said Atiku’s options are now limited to Timi Frank, Bode George, Debo Ologbondiyan, Rotimi Amaechi, and Tom Ikimi.
Posting on Facebook, he wrote: “With the high possibility of Obi’s refusal, Atiku is desperately shopping for a southern running mate and since he cannot get any SS governor to accept and to fund him, his options are limited to Timi Frank, AdeDancer, Bode George, Ologbondiyan, Amaechi or Tom Ikimi.”
This comes as Obi said his involvement in the opposition coalition was to fight against bad governance, hunger, and poverty, not personal political ambition.
He made this remark while reacting to reports of an alleged agreement with Atiku to serve as his presidential running mate in 2027.
According to the report, Atiku had agreed to serve for only one term and was willing to formalize the agreement in writing.’
