Atiku Abubakar, the former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has set a condition under which he would support Peter Obi’s bid for the presidency in 2027.

Atiku, who is currently engaged in discussions with stakeholders from various opposition parties to form a coalition against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has expressed his willingness to back Obi if the Labour Party nominates him as their candidate.

In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, as reported by The Sun, Atiku acknowledged the ongoing merger talks aimed at creating a formidable opposition force for the next general elections.

“We can merge to achieve a common goal. So, it’s possible and nothing can stop it if we so wish to achieve that,” he stated.

Regarding his potential support for Peter Obi, Atiku said, “If the new party decides that it’s the turn of the South-East and Peter Obi is chosen, I won’t hesitate to support him.”

Atiku further reiterated his stance on adhering to party decisions concerning presidential candidacy, recalling his position before the 2023 elections.

He said: “I have said repeatedly and I even said it before the 2023 general elections that if PDP decides to zone the presidential ticket to the South or South-East specifically, I won’t contest it. As long as it is the decision of the party, I will abide by it. But I contested the 2023 presidential ticket because it was thrown open to all members of the party.”
