Adeyanju advised Obi to form an alliance within the opposition coalition if he wants to beat Atiku to the coalition’s presidential ticket.
In a Facebook post, he argued that Obi and other presidential hopefuls would defeat Atiku if they worked for it.
He recalled how the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, almost defeated Atiku during the 2022 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries.
“As at today, Atiku will secure the coalition ticket easily. I don’t see others putting in the work to stop him.
“They want the easy way out, like the charade that happened between Obi and Pat Utomi in the Labour Party primaries during the last election.
“Atiku can be defeated in a primary like in the 2014 APC primaries. Wike almost stopped him if not for Tambuwal’s last-minute joker.
“Form alliances with the northern key stakeholders and stop him instead of crying on Twitter that you should be given a free ticket. This is a coalition not the Labour Party. If you want a free ticket, go back to LP,” Adeyanju advised Obi.”
This comes as Atiku officially resigned his membership of the PDP.
The former presidential candidate claimed the PDP deviated from its founding principles, hence his “heartbreaking” decision to exit.
