Peter Obi Confident in ADC Ticket Amid Atiku Speculation for 2027 Election

During a visit to a primary school in Abuja, Peter Obi, a presidential candidate for the 2023 general election, dismissed rumors of Atiku Abubakar taking over the ADC ticket for the 2027 election. Obi described Atiku as a respected elder brother and leader, emphasizing unity and coalition building.

Speculations arose following reports of Atiku's loyalists defecting to ADC. Atiku, in a recent BBC Hausa interview, stated he would not step aside unless defeated in the ADC primaries.
