Why Atiku should resign from politics – Deji Adeyanju

Human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has given reasons why former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, should resign from politics following the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.

According to him, a combination of arrogance, inadequate human relationships, inability to manage the opposition, and several other lesser-known factors contributed to making Atiku’s lose in the 2023 polls.

Adeyanju, who made his view known in his New Year message, said if Atiku, who ran on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, had managed the 2023 polls better, the results would have been different, and Nigeria would have a different president.

The activist berated Atiku for failing to work with the likes of Labour Party’s Peter Obi, New Nigeria People’s Party’s Rabiu Kwankwaso and Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike and the G5 which eventually paved the way for President Bola Tinubu’s victory.

To this end, Adeyanju said Atiku should realize he has done enough and should desist from nursing any idea about contesting the 2027 presidency, but instead be a mentor to younger politicians. READ MORE
