…..Advises former Vice President to quit 2027 race and support President Tinubu for a Government of National Unity
Leading President Tinubu support group, The Bridge for Renewed Hope, has expressed support for the recent allegations made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, saying the accusations further reinforce concerns about Atiku’s suitability to hold the office of President of Nigeria.
Hon. Rowland Odih, Atiku/Peter Obi 2019 campaign media aide and currently the Director-General of The Bridge for Renewed Hope said in a Saturday statement by the media office of The Bridge for Renewed Hope, that “the 2027 presidential election should not be about personal ambition as is the case of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar but about consolidating the progress already being made under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Hon. Rowland, “Nigeria needs stability, continuity and unity at this critical time. Rather than pursuing another presidential bid, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should put the national interest above personal political ambition by supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.”
He argued that a Government of National Unity would strengthen national cohesion, accelerate economic reforms and provide a united front in tackling the country’s security and developmental challenges.
Hon. Rowland maintained that “President Tinubu inherited enormous economic and security challenges but has continued to implement bold reforms aimed at repositioning Nigeria for sustainable growth.”
He therefore called on opposition leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to rally behind President Tinubu in the spirit of patriotism and national development.
In concluding, Hon. Rowland Odih advised former Vice President Atiku that “national unity should take precedence over partisan politics and personal political ambition.”
