The Nigerian Youths for Atiku (NYFA) has urged former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Chief Olabode George, to stop opposing and criticising Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambition.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Lagos, NYFA’s Director of Communications (Nigeria and Diaspora), Dare Dada, dismissed George’s stance against the former vice president.

“Bode George should open a campaign office in Lagos for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu, as his constant attacks on Atiku ahead of 2027 are becoming irritating,” Dada stated.

He argued that George’s views do not reflect the broader sentiment within the PDP, adding that “Nigerians have moved past him.”

Dada further urged George to focus on revitalizing the PDP in Lagos, alleging that his actions had contributed to the party’s decline in the state and the resignation of several key members.

Dada said: “Chief George is one of those politicians who is responsible for the sorry state of the PDP today; his continued envy of Atiku Abubakar is well noted.

“As a result, we have decided to ignore a local champion who never delivered his polling unit for the party.

“As an elder of the party who should have busied himself with how to save the soul of the party and its accelerated dwindling fortunes, he focuses on attacking Atiku.

“We have noted with dismay how Bode George who has lost every political capital and relevance, embarks on attacking Atiku to get media mileage.

“We ask him who among his preferred choices can defeat President Bola Tinubu in the circumstance if not Atiku Abubakar? Or, does he seem himself fit for the job in his delusional mind?”

According to him, the constant outburst of George is not only pointless, but also suggests a dire frustration that he cannot stop an idea whose time has come.

“We urge Chief Bode George to stop the pretences. Nigerians now know better,” Dada said.
