Abati Criticizes Atiku for Playing Ethnic Card in 2027 Presidential Bid
Former presidential aide Abati criticized Atiku for playing the ethnic card in his 2027 presidential bid, stating Nigeria needs a leader to address insecurity and economic challenges, not tribal politics. Abati highlighted Atiku's promise to prioritize governance policies if elected, emphasizing his Yoruba heritage.
Atiku had described the Yoruba people as his extended family and vowed not to dominate them if he becomes President. Abati urged Atiku to focus on national issues and avoid tribalization in politics, asserting that playing the ethnic card won't work in the upcoming election.
The criticism came during Abati's appearance on Arise Television's Morning Show.
