North's Support for Atiku Grows Ahead of 2027 Election

In a recent interview with Channel Television, Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), discussed the changing political landscape in Nigeria regarding the 2027 presidential election. He asserted that the northern region is starting to show significant support for Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President, suggesting a positive shift in his political fortunes.

Momodu emphasized that this support is emerging in the wake of the previous administration led by former President Muhammadu Buhari. He noted that the perception of Atiku is improving, stating, "He is beginning to smell like roses," which indicates a growing acceptance among northern voters.

This development could have implications for the electoral prospects of Atiku Abubakar as he prepares for the upcoming presidential race.
