Atiku Says He’ll Only Step Down for Peter Obi If He Pays His Nomination Fee

1 / 2

A recent ADC insider revealed that Atiku Abubakar told party leaders he would consider stepping aside for Peter Obi—only after Obi paid his nomination form fee. The source pointed to their 2019 partnership, when Obi served as Atiku’s running mate. Insiders say Obi relied heavily on Atiku to fund their joint campaign back then. Tensions flared again when Obi briefly joined the ADC before switching to the NDC days later. Atiku reportedly warned that the same funding issues could undermine any future collaboration. Observers now question whether Obi will commit financially if he becomes the NDC’s presidential candidate in 2027.
