Atiku's Picture Missing As Benue PDP Unveils Campaign Vehicles (Photo)

The image of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar is conspicuously missing on the campaign vehicles of the Benue State chapter of the party.

The images of the vehicles which have been making rounds on social media have the pictures of Governor Samuel Ortom who is a senatorial candidate and those of some other party candidates in Benue.

However, the picture of Atiku was not included which might be further testimony to the resolve by Ortom and other aggrieved PDP governors (G5) who have vowed not to support Atiku’s presidential ambition except Iyorchia Ayu steps down as the PDP National Chairman and is replaced by a southerner.

Up to thirty vehicles were spotted but none has the image of Atiku printed on it.

Naija News understands the vehicles were unveiled and distributed to PDP campaign coordinators across the 23 Local Government Areas of Benue state.

You Need Kano, Rivers, And Lagos To Win

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party(NNPP) Rabiu Kwankwaso has submitted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar might lose the 2023 election.

Speaking on Monday in Rivers State, the former Kano State Governor said Atiku needs the votes from at least two of Lagos, Kano, or Rivers States but the PDP candidate at the moment doesn’t have any of the three.

Throwing further shade at Atiku, Kwankwaso said after lobbying to get the PDP presidential ticket, the former Vice President has created more problems for himself and the party with the internal crisis which has pitched him against some Governors in the party.

Kwankwaso wondered where the PDP and Atiku plan to get enough votes as Kano is already out of reach with him out of the party, Rivers is threatened with Nyesom Wike’s current stand while the PDP also does not have any stronghold in Lagos State.

Naija News reports the NNPP candidate made his views public during the inauguration of the Mgbuitanwo internal roads in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State constructed by Governor Wike.

He called on Atiku to respect himself and do the right thing instead of running to party leaders for intervention in the crisis.
