The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Concerned Youth in Gombe State on Monday threw its weight behind former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambition in 2027.
In a press statement by the Chairman, Concerned PDP Youth, Gombe State, Ismail Gombe, and Secretary, Abubakar Pantami, described Atiku as ‘one of the most qualified hopefuls to lead Nigeria under the PDP in 2027’, citing his experience, business acumen, and educational background.
The group rejected claims by an alleged faceless group led by Jamilu Adamu Danjarida, urging Atiku to step back from active politics.

‘The PDP is the solution to the country’s challenges, and Atiku’s leadership would be instrumental in reversing the damage done by the APC’, the statement added.
It called on Atiku to contest the 2027 presidential election under the PDP, pledging to give him their maximum support and backing.
‘We urge all PDP members and supporters to rally behind his potential candidacy’, the statement maintained.
