2027: Obi, Atiku Never Had Discussion On Compromising ADC Presidential Ticket – Ibe

Paul Ibe, Special Adviser on Media to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said that his principal and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi have not held any talks about compromising the ADC presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Ibe made this clarification on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.

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.

Recall that Atiku had said that no presidential aspirant will step down in the ADC presidential race.
