A group, the Concerned PDP Youth of Gombe State, has urged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to step back from active political contest and pursue an advisory role in shaping the future of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The chairman of the group, Jamilu Adamu, made the call at a press conference on Thursday in Gombe.

Adamu commended Atiku’s significant contributions to the party and Nigeria’s democratic development, describing him as a respected statesman with a notable legacy in the nation’s political history.


He emphasized the need for generational renewal in the PDP, and advised its leadership to create more opportunities for young members to emerge and contribute meaningfully towards rebuilding the party.

“We believe that His Excellency Atiku Abubakar’s experience and wisdom can still benefit the PDP if channelled into mentoring and supporting emerging leaders,” Adamu said.

According to him, the call was not intended as an attack on the former vice president, rather a respected suggestion for strategic repositioning of the party.

The chairman said that PDP must adopt fresh perspectives to give younger voices a central role in party decisions.

Adamu, while reaffirming their commitment to the party, enjoined stakeholders to work towards building a more inclusive, united and dynamic opposition capable of addressing Nigeria’s challenges.

“We are hopeful that our message will be received in the spirit of progress and dialogue,” he added.
