Atiku’s Associates Mount Pressure on Him to Run Again in 2023
POLITICS DIGEST – Associates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s candidate in the 2019 polls, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, have started mounting pressure on him to take another shot at the presidency in 2023.
This followed the failure of his suit against President Muhammadu Buhari at the Supreme Court on Wednesday where his request to reverse the outcome of the 2019 presidential election was thrown out.
Speaking with our correspondent, one of Atiku’s long-time political associate said they were already talking with him and hopes to convince the former vice president to try his luck again in the next presidential election.

Giving his reasons, he said Atiku stood a brighter chance to clinch the presidency since President Buhari would not be in the picture again as he was serving out his last term in office.
He also said that with the way things were going, the possibility that APC would implode in 2023 was very high.
“Since the outcome of the 2019 presidential election in February, some of us who believe in Atiku and know he has good plans for the country have been looking at the possibility of his seeking re-election in 2023.
“Some of us know since Buhari has been declared winner by INEC, it will be an uphill task for any court to upturn the verdict. We have been vindicated by the Supreme Court ruling.
“Now that we have put that behind us, we will be talking to Wazirin to try his luck again. There is this popular saying that ‘quitters don’t win’.
