The spiritual head of the Inri evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has prophesied that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 'will die' if it decides to 'hand' Atiku Abubakar the presidential ticket for the 2027 election.
Legit.ng reports that Atiku, a former vice president, is a serial presidential aspirant having contested unsuccessfully for president of Nigeria six times: in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.
The 77-year-old ran in the Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential primaries in 1993 but lost to Moshood Abiola and Baba Gana Kingibe. Atiku's last two presidential pursuits have been through the PDP.
In a video shared on his known X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, August 15, Ayodele said in the event Atiku emerges as the PDP’s presidential flag-bearer again in 2027, the party "is dead”.
The cleric said: “PDP, if you want to fail, give Atiku your presidency. You will see that you will fail. It is going to be a cheap victory for APC.
Atiku is not the answer for the PDP in 2027. He is not the answer. If you try Atiku, then, politically, PDP is dead. That is the end of PDP.”
