Associates of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 polls, are already mounting pressure on him to take another shot at the presidency in 2023.
This followed the failure of his suit against President Muhammadu Buhari at the Supreme Court on Wednesday where his request to reverse the outcome of the 2019 presidential election was thrown out.
Speaking with our correspondent, one of Atiku’s long-time political associate said they were already talking with him and hope to convince the former vice president to try his luck again in the next presidential election.
Giving his reasons, he said Atiku stood a brighter chance to clinch the presidency since President Buhari would not be in the picture again as he was serving out his last term in office.
He also said that with the way things were going, the possibility that APC would implode in 2023 was very high.
