Sokoto PDP Candidate Backs Tinubu for 2027 and Urges Atiku to Join Wike-Linked Coalition

Sokoto PDP governorship candidate Alhaji Abubakar Abdullahi has endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid and appealed to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to join the Rainbow Coalition, associated with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. He made the remarks at a stakeholders’ meeting in Sokoto on Sunday. Abdullahi said the arrangement would let PDP members keep their party structures and field candidates in Sokoto while supporting Tinubu. He added that members could back APC candidates in constituencies where PDP candidates lacked sufficient support. He also cited a reported donation of vehicles by Atiku’s son to Tinubu’s re-election campaign as a sign of support within Atiku’s family. Abdullahi said the coalition was open to political groups and individuals who shared its objectives.
