Demola Olarewaju, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy, proposed a 2027 presidential ticket that might “get rid of the All Progressives Congress, APC, government” on Tuesday.
Olarewaju revealed that an Atiku-Obi ticket would remove the APC government.
In an interview, he recalled that Atiku garnered 6.98 million votes while Obi got 6.1 million in the last presidential election.
He stated: “That is a possibility, Atiku-Obi on the same ticket. The only thing we can rule out are those things that are constitutionally impossible just as Atiku running as Vice President again.
“He has served as Vice President for eight years and he can’t be VP again.
When I say that they are on the same page, I mean that they are operating within the same political family, which is the ADC coalition. However, a lot of things are being investigated, particularly within the ADC.
That’s what I mean when I said Atiku and Obi along with other patriotic Nigerians are on the same page.
They are both on the same page and are tremendous patriots of the country; it is not about their aspirations or how to manage the country.
I believe the two of them need to have a very clear-cut political arrangement that is obvious to all Nigerians if they are willing to make sacrifices in order to remain on the same page and unite.
His Excellency Atiku Abubakar pulled 6.98 million votes, his Excellency Peter Obi pulled 6.1 million votes, if we can have those two votes together that would be the first step towards getting rid of APC government.”
