Atiku has contested for the presidency twice in the past and lost, and there are reports that he is gearing up for another contest in 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, his campaign may face a lot of obstacles from Nyesom Wike and other Governors in PDP.\u00a0According to a recent report in <\/span>Daily Trust, the Governors are not keen to support Atiku to fly the party’s flag in the 2023 presidential election.<\/span> Photo Credit: Daily Trust<\/p>\n They have been holding strategic meetings and mobilising to ensure that another candidate emerges as the party\u2019s flagbearer.\u00a0This article will analyse two reasons why PDP Governors are seemingly against Atiku<\/span><\/p>\n Atiku is over 70<\/strong><\/p>\n The task at hand is huge and the PDP Governors appear to have realised that they need a better strategy if they must wrestle power from the All Progressives Congress in the coming election. And one of the criteria they have set for the next PDP candidate is that he must be young and have the energy to withstand the rigour of the presidency.

More so, the Governors are trying to align with the mood of the country as many Nigerian voters have been calling for a younger president to rule the country. So PDP wants to be able to confirm with the yearnings of the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n They want someone who can relate well with them<\/strong><\/p>\n Another reason why the Governors want Atiku as a presidential candidate is because they want someone that can connect and relate with them. This is a crucial factor because if they get a candidate that can relate with them, it means the Governors can remain relevant post-2023, even if they are no longer in office. But this may not be the case with Atiku, who is not in the same clique as the present set of PDP Governors.\u00a0<\/span> Photo Credit: BBC<\/p>\n But despite the imminent hurdle that Atiku may face in his quest to win the party’s ticket he appears determined to pursue his dream of leading the country. Sources say he has already set up a campaign structure and will soon publicly declare for the presidency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What do you think about this report?
