A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) group has called on the former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku, to step aside and allow younger people to contest the 2023 election.
The group, under the aegis of PDP Action 2023, which noted that the current crisis in the party was a normal struggle in party politics, said that for PDP to achieve its aim in the forthcoming general election, it should present an acceptable candidate for President in 2023.
The group, in a statement by its Chairman, Rufus Omeire said, “It is very shameful that since he (Atiku) lost the presidential election, he moved to Dubai, abandoning all members of PDP, all the stakeholders, and millions of ordinary Nigerians who voted for him and PDP in 2019.
“It is a betrayal of trust for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to neglect the feelings and sacrifices of ordinary voters who supported him and PDP in 2019.
“Now 2023 elections are once again at hand, he has returned and started politicking once again. Apparently, the only thing he is very good at, is politics.”
