Dele Momodu, a former director of strategic communications for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, has shared his thoughts on the future of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP's 2023 presidential candidate.
In a recent statement, Momodu emphasized the role of divine intervention in shaping Atiku's political journey.
Momodu said God and destiny will determine Atiku's fate in the 2027 presidential race. His comment suggests that Atiku may be considering another presidential run.
Momodu also reaffirmed Atiku's significance in Nigerian politics, describing him as a strong force. Despite the outcome of the 2023 election, Atiku's legacy remains intact, and his influence will continue to be felt.
Atiku remains key player in Nigerian politics - Momodu
While speaking on Channels TV's Politics Today on Monday, October 14, Momodu posited that Atiku will remain a key player in shaping Nigeria's political landscape. He said his experience, expertise, and commitment to the country's development make him an indispensable asset.
Atiku, 77, has contested for Nigerian president six times: in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023. In 1993, at the Social Democratic Party primary, he lost to the late Moshood Abiola and Baba Gana Kingibe.
However, Momodu said:
“Age cannot be an automatic qualification or disqualification in politics. Who would have expected Joe Biden to come after Obama? It is up to God and destiny. I am a child of destiny, so I have contentment."
