🚨 In an impassioned appeal for equity and restoration within Nigeria's fractured political landscape, a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called PDP 100 Percent is urging former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to abandon his presidential aspirations for 2027 and lend support to a Southern candidate in the interest of fairness and party unity.
🧭 With the PDP losing members to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), this group asserts that the party's future depends on mending relationships with Nigerians, starting with a commitment to equitable power sharing. 🔄🤝 "This is a pivotal moment in our democratic journey," proclaimed Dennis Shima, the group's National Coordinator, during a press briefing in Abuja. 🎙� He openly criticized Atiku for contributing to the party's current struggles, including his past efforts against former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. 🧨📉 A Legacy of Betrayal and Unkept Promises 📜💔: The faction criticized Atiku's history of political defections—from supporting Buhari's rise in 2015 to rejoining the PDP in 2017 after being marginalized within the APC. 🔁 "Had Atiku received adequate support from Buhari, he would still be in the APC today," Shima remarked. "Instead, he returned to the PDP when his political prospects faded, after playing a role in undermining the very party that had repeatedly uplifted him."

🔙🎭 They accused Atiku and his northern allies of consistently monopolizing the party's presidential candidacy while marginalizing the South, despite their contributions in 2019 and 2023. 🚷🗺� A New Southern Vision 🌍: In advocating for a fresh political direction, the group suggested credible Southern leaders such as Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, portraying him as "young, dynamic, and capable of contesting against President Bola Tinubu in 2027." ⚡🌟 The faction urged Nigerians to view Makinde's previous alignment with the G5 rebellion with understanding, emphasizing it stemmed from a desire for fairness and balance—principles that are currently lacking in national politics. ⚖️ "It was misguided to propose another northern candidate in 2023 right after Buhari's eight-year tenure," Shima stressed. "We cannot afford to let history repeat itself." 🔂⛔ Upcoming PDP NEC and the Path to May 27th 📅⚠️: The group cautioned that northern PDP stakeholders are once again maneuvering to secure control of both the National Chairmanship and the 2027 presidential ticket—an arrangement they believe led to the party's demise in 2023.

💼🛑 With the next PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for May 27, 2025, the group urged all genuine supporters of democracy to unite and prevent "the worst-case scenario" from unfolding again. 🚨🧱 "The PDP has extended too many concessions to Atiku," they asserted. "Now is the time for him to step back and allow Southern leadership for the benefit of both the party and the nation." 🕊�✨ CALL TO ACTION: Nigerians, it's time to voice your opinions! Let justice guide our democracy. ✊
