Abba Moro, the leader of the main opposition’s Peoples Democratic Party, claims the party regrets electing Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate in 2023.  ,
On Channels Television’s Politics Today, Senator Moro, a member of the Benue South National Assembly, made the statement.
The Senate Minority Leader said on Tuesday that “fielding Atiku] was an error because of how the election turned out and how the Nigerian people spoke.”
“It’s definitely regrettable to lose a very significant election in that disastrous manner.”
The All Progressives Congress (APC), the party’s former leader, won the election, placing them second behind the PDP.

Atiku left the PDP about two years after that defeat, and he hasn’t yet announced his new party.
Jonathan’s Planned Return, Obi?
Although only two years have passed since the 2027 general elections, there are rumors that the main opposition wants to persuade former president Goodluck Jonathan and former governor of Nambra State, Peter Obi, to rejoin.
Since being unspotted at PDP public events since losing to former president Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, Jonathan has maintained a low profile.
Similar to Atiku, who was Atiku’s running mate in the 2019 elections, he later dumped the PDP and won the party’s presidential ticket for the 2023 elections.
According to Moro, he was said to have been frustrated with the PDP, which he corroborated.
However, Moro claimed that talks are ongoing to persuade the duo to run for president.
He continued, “I am aware that some people have been talking to Peter Obi about “Hey, come back home, this is what we are likely to do, and if you come, you stand a chance of being the candidate,” Moro said on the program.
