The official spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 presidential campaign under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has stated that President Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi endorsed Atiku Abubakar in the 2007 and 2019 elections, respectively.
Okonkwo made the statement during a recent press briefing while speaking about the presidential ambitions of Atiku, Tinubu and Obi.
According to him, Tinubu endorsed Atiku for president in 2007, while Obi endorsed the former Vice President in 2019.
He argued that Atiku remains the only one among the three politicians to have received endorsements from the other two at different times.
“Bola Tinubu endorsed Atiku to be president in 2007. Peter Obi endorsed Atiku to be president in 2019.
“Two out of the three of them, Atiku is the only person that has been endorsed by the other two. So, if the other two believe that he is the best, what are you looking for?
“They know themselves, but they don’t know themselves more than you and I,” Okonkwo said.
