Special Adviser to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on Media, Paul Ibe, says his principal and former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have not had any discussion on compromising the ADC presidential ticket in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
Ibe made this clarification on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television monitored by Newspot.
He said the preoccupation of the duo is building and ensuring there is an alternative platform to give the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, a run for their money.
“Like I said earlier, having that kind of conversation is putting the car before the horse. Obi and Atiku have not had that conversation as far as the ADC is concerned.
“If the platform of the ADC created is not robust enough, their aspirations and ambition will come to not. They are trying to have a robust platform. Any other thing is a distraction brought about by the President Tinubu-led administration,” Ibe said.
Newspot recalls that Atiku had said that no presidential aspirant will step down in the ADC presidential race.
