Ayodele Fayose, the former Governor of Ekiti State, has told former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to stay away from contesting elections in the country.
Fayose said this while speaking on the crises in the PDP on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
Fayose said, “I am sure at this stage with all due respect to him, he would rather want to stay away from politics of contesting elections again.”
“By the time Asiwaju(Bola Tinubu) will finish, Atiku Abubakar will probably be 80 or 81 so what will be the attraction?
“We should leave the stage when the ovation is loudest, I respect him and I think Nigerians are craving for a younger generation than ever before so on what basis will Atiku come and contest again.”
Recall that Atiku unsuccessfully ran for President in Nigeria in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023, with three losses occurring at primaries.
