Presidential Bid in 2027

This statement comes amidst contrasting opinions from various political figures, particularly Chief Bode George, who has publicly expressed reservations about Atiku’s potential run.Senator Ogunwale firmly believes that Atiku Abubakar is uniquely positioned to confront the challenges posed by the current administration.

The senator’s remarks reflect a sentiment shared among many supporters who feel that Nigeria requires strong leadership capable of addressing pressing national issues.Expressing his disbelief at Chief Bode George’s criticism, Senator Ogunwale remarked, I am highly surprised and dumbfounded that someone of his stature would downgrade himself by making such statements.
He pointed out that while chief George has historically been critical of Atiku, his recent comments seem to lack depth and consideration for the Nigerian populace. The senator further acknowledged the respect he holds for Chief Bode George’s wife, yet he expressed disappointment in George’s public position, suggesting that it may stem from ulterior motives linked to political alliances with parties outside the PDP.Senator Ogunwale did not shy away from making bold claims regarding Chief Bode George’s motivations, suggesting that rumors of him working clandestinely for this present administration could hold merit.

Atiku and Peter Obi can come together, it should be encouraged, not denigrated,” he noted, highlighting the potential synergy between the two candidates.
