As Nigerians look forward to the 2027 general elections, Douye Diri, the Bayelsa state governor, has rejected the suggestion for Atiku Abubakar to choose him as his running mate in the next presidential poll.
As reported by The Nation newspaper, the suggestion for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate to pick Diri was proposed by a group named Diri Angels.
But reacting, the Bayelsa state governor dismissed the suggestion as a trick from political opportunists and advised the public to disregard them.
Diri said:
“I am not swayed by such calls. In my political journey, I have always relied on God and not on political jobbers with devious intentions.
“The aim of those behind this act is to cause disaffection but the plot is dead on arrival as I’m not interested in such a Greek gift.”
Earlier, TheNGblog reported that Peter Obi said he has no plans to join other politicians to form a mega party to oust the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, made this call when he spoke to newsmen in Onitsha, Anambra state.
