A group under the auspices of Diri Angels (DA) has called on a former Vice-President, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, to consider the Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri as his Vice-Presidential Candidate in 2027.
DA in a statement signed by its Secretary, John Ondowari, said there was no doubt that Atiku would still emerge as the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2027.
Ondowari said Atiku could only realized his ambition to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if he could adopt Governor Diri as his running mate in 2027.
“Diri is our leader and we know he has the capacity to work as Atiku’s running mate to rescue this country from the current hardship in 2027”, Ondowari said.
Giving reasons why Diri should be considered by Atiku, Ondowari said: “Diri is a people oriented leader who has excellent leadership and visionary skills. Nigeria will immensely benefit from Diri as our vice-president
“Diri’s grassroots support will help galvanize the PDP better in a general election. Diri is scandal-free and his being on that ticket will be a plus.
“Diri is a major financiar of the PDP and it is only natural the party rewards his great efforts
“Being an oil rich state, Bayelsa becomes strategic for such a position in terms of catering for the logistics of the elections.
“Diri is endlessly loyal to Atiku Abubakar and both will form a seamless relationship to unseat the APC government in 2027”.
