Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Deputy National Chairman, Chief Olabode George, has appealed to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to shelve his 2027 presidential ambition and allow younger Nigerians to run.
George made this appeal in an interview on Arise Television on Thursday.
According to George, Atiku would be 81 years old in 2027, and he would be too old at the time to govern the country.
The PDP chieftain noted that Atiku should be like a big uncle in the room, mentoring the younger ones instead of thinking about contesting in 2027.
Meanwhile, George also described the security situation in the country as “horrendous and heartbreaking.”
He called on President Bola Tinubu to call a meeting of retired military officers to devise solutions to tackle the current security challenges.
