The reports alleged that Atiku, who was the PDP presidential candidate in 2023, had stepped aside for Obi and even agreed to support a one-term presidency for him in the interest of regional balance.

However, Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, has described the claims as false and misleading.

Reacting on Saturday, December 27, Ibe shared a screenshot of the report on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account and wrote bluntly:

“Fake news: Not on the menu!”

The denial has triggered fresh reactions online, with supporters of Atiku and Peter Obi debating the 2027 permutations and possible political alliances.

The development is also coming amid reports that Peter Obi is planning to formally join the ADC, further fueling speculation ahead of the next general election.

With 2027 still some distance away, political calculations appear to be heating up, and Atiku has made it clear he is not stepping down for anyone.

A statement by Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said the president is also scheduled for an official visit to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

Onanuga added that the president will participate in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week Summit at the invitation of the UAE President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Posting on X, Sowore wrote: “Nigeria’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unwell just managing himself, reason he’s abruptly flown to ‘Europe’ today @Senator_Akpabio is practically dying, why is Nigeria governed by sick people?

“And whereas nothing is wrong with illnesses it is callous to use a country as health insurance for sick leaders.”
