Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate for the 2023 election, should have been disqualified, according to Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the Labour Party in Abuja, “for making a genocidal statement” in Kaduna recently.

Recall that Atiku faced criticism from the majority of the people after an interactive session with Arewa groups in Kaduna State earlier this month for telling Northerners to vote for him in the 2023 election because he is from the north.
