Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Barely 23 days to the presidential election, Nigerian social critic, Aisha Yesufu, has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is desperate to become president.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a post via her verified Twitter handle on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Recall that Atiku had in an interview on BBC Hausa Service said he was in talks with two presidential candidates, including Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP.<\/p>\n

However, Obi has cleared the air on Atiku\u2019s claim, saying he is not stepping down for any candidate and that he is a frontrunner in the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Yesufu has said Obi is the leading candidate, noting that Atiku is desperate to become president.<\/p>\n

She wrote, \u201cAtiku is desperate! Peter Obi is leading and is not stepping down for anyone. He is the force.\u201d<\/p>\n
