Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, on Wednesday, shut down the call on former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, to pick him as his running mate in the 2027 presidential election.
DAILY POST, gathered that a group under the auspices of Diri Angels, DA, called on a former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, to consider the Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri as his Vice-Presidential candidate in 2027.
DA, had in a statement signed on Tuesday by its Secretary, John Ondowari, said there was no doubt that Atiku would still emerge as the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2027, and the only way to realise his ambition to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is to adopt Governor Diri as his running mate in 2027.
But, Diri in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, described the group as a faceless group, which sarcastically named itself Diri Angels and one he believes is non-existent.
He maintained that they intended to cause disaffection in some quarters and that the plot had failed.
