Bode George Says PDP Will Collapse if Atiku Runs for President Again in 2027

Bode George, the former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has made it clear that the party will not allow former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to run for the presidency again in 2027. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, George expressed regret over the PDP’s decision to back Atiku in the 2023 election, calling it a “self-inflicted mistake.”
Meanwhile, he criticized the party for granting Atiku a waiver to run in 2023, especially after the presidency had been held by a northerner, Muhammadu Buhari, for eight years. Additionally , George argued that this decision went against the PDP’s founding zoning principles, which he believes should rotate the presidential ticket to the South.
Warning that allowing Atiku to contest again in 2027 could result in the party’s collapse, George stressed the importance of adhering to the zoning arrangement to maintain fairness and unity within the party.
Also, George praised the PDP governors for rejecting proposals for coalition or merger talks, stressing that the PDP, as a major political force, should not merge with parties lacking structure. He called on smaller parties and individuals to join the PDP, which he believes is on a path to recovery and regaining its national relevance.

Peter Obi Stopped Atiku in 2023 and Will Do It Again in 2027, Deji Adeyanju Says

Activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has stirred fresh political conversation by referring to Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, as a stumbling block to Atiku Abubakar’s ambitions. Adeyanju believes Obi played a key role in preventing Atiku from winning the 2023 presidential election—and he’s confident history will repeat itself in 2027.
Back in 2019, Atiku and Obi were on the same ticket under the PDP but failed to unseat then-President Muhammadu Buhari. After that loss, Obi parted ways with the PDP and ran for president under the Labour Party in 2023, where he finished third.
Taking to X, Adeyanju shared his blunt view: “Obi is the weapon formed against Atiku. He blocked his path to the presidency before, and he’ll do it again. Stop championing people who won’t even lift a finger for themselves. Don’t overdo it—relax.”

“Without Talking About Peter Obi None of Them Gets Attention” – Obidient Movement Says

The Obidient Movement has fired back at Omoyele Sowore over his recent comments downplaying Peter Obi’s role as an opposition figure. Sowore, speaking on Channels TV’s Inside Sources, had said Peter Obi shouldn’t be considered part of the opposition, claiming the Labour Party candidate hasn’t taken a stand against the Tinubu administration and stayed silent on issues like fuel price hikes.
But in response, Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, said Obi remains one of the most talked-about figures in Nigerian politics, proving his influence and relevance. “If he’s not a real opposition, why does everyone keep talking about him?” Tanko asked. “The truth is, without mentioning Peter Obi, none of them gets attention. Everything he says or does becomes headline news.”
He also criticized Senate President Godswill Akpabio for bringing up Obi’s name during a tribute event, accusing him of using the moment for character attacks rather than addressing national issues. “Instead of focusing on policies, they’re attacking Peter Obi’s character,” Tanko said. “They should let him keep doing what he does best — standing up to the system for the sake of the Nigerian people. That’s what he’s committed to, and that’s what we’ll keep supporting.”

Patience Jonathan expressed her endorsement while attending the Women Icon Leader of the Year award ceremony, where she honored Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the daughter of President Bola Tinubu and the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, in Abuja on Saturday night.

She also took a moment to recall the support she and her husband received from Remi Tinubu and the president during their 2011 presidential campaign. Jonathan stressed that instead of aiming for a return to Aso Rock, her focus is on standing by the First Lady and supporting her efforts.
“I’ve known Oluremi for a long time,” Jonathan shared. “We’ve worked together as wives of governors and deputy governors. I will not abandon my friend. I am not running for office, and I won’t go back to the Villa.
If you call me, I won’t come. I stand by my friend.” Jonathan concluded by reminding everyone that leadership is about “turn by turn” and reaffirmed her commitment to supporting Senator Oluremi Tinubu and her husband’s vision for the country.
