Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President of Nigeria and a veteran in the political arena, is once again pursuing his lifelong ambition of becoming President as the 2027 elections approach. His political journey has been marked by resilience and a strategic reinvention, despite facing multiple setbacks in previous presidential bids since his first serious attempt in 1993.
