Posting on X, the NDC chieftain explained that President Bola Tinubu would be booted out of office in 2027 if Atiku steps aside and backs Obi.
The NDC official said stepping aside would not damage Atiku’s legacy but could strengthen the opposition’s chances in 2027.
Agada praised Atiku’s character and vision while maintaining that the time had come for him to step away from presidential ambitions in the interest of the wider opposition.
He wrote: “Every electioneering season. AA is a good and solid man, but he needs to give it up at this point.
“His idea for a working Nigeria is brilliant but at this point, he needs to give up his ambition.
“If he steps aside, nothing is going to affect his sterling legacy. AA should support Obi to kick the APC out.”
This comes as the former vice president declared that the 2027 presidential election would be the last time he would contest, whether he wins or not.
