Atiku Abubakar Denies Quitting 2027 Presidency to Support Peter Obi

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has refuted rumors suggesting he would withdraw from the 2027 presidential race to back Peter Obi. The reports alleged a plan for Atiku to endorse Obi and promote regional balance.

Atiku's media advisor, Paul Ibe, strongly debunked the story as fake news. Amid political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, speculations of alliances and withdrawals remain unconfirmed.

Additionally, there were reports of Peter Obi possibly joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC), but Atiku's camp maintains his presidential ambitions.
