2027 Elections: Atiku’s Aide Takes Aim at Peter Obi Over Pressure to Make His Boss Step Down

A political war of words is brewing ahead of the 2027 presidential election as Atiku Abubakar’s Senior Special Assistant has taken a swipe at Peter Obi over an alleged attempt to persuade his principal to step aside for the Labour Party presidential candidate.

The aide accused Obi of allegedly sending individuals to approach Atiku and urge him to withdraw from the 2027 race in his favour.

The allegation has added another layer to the growing political tension surrounding the opposition ahead of the next presidential election, with questions still lingering over possible alliances and the chances of a united opposition front.
