Prominent international rights activist, Donu Kogbara, has called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to support Peter Obi’s presidential bid and become a statesman who rallies behind the coalition.

According to Kogbara, Atiku, at nearly 80 years old, should transcend personal ambitions and assume a fatherly role in the coalition, leveraging his influence to rally northern votes for Obi.

Kogbara believes that Atiku’s support would significantly boost the coalition’s chances of success, given his strong following in the North.

By putting aside competitive aspirations and embracing a statesmanlike role, Atiku could play a pivotal role in shaping Nigeria’s future.

Kogbara’s statement highlights the importance of unity and strategic alliances in achieving political goals.
