Atiku Denies Private Meeting with Yari, Targets Tinubu in 2023 Election Challenge
Former Vice President Atiku clarified an encounter with APC's Abdulaziz Yari in Abuja, denying reports of a private meeting ahead of the 2027 elections. Atiku, now with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is reportedly eyeing a challenge against Bola Tinubu in the 2023 elections.
This move marks Atiku's fifth presidential bid, with key figures like Peter Obi and David Mark supporting him. Despite leaving the PDP, Atiku faces competition from Nasir El Rufai, a former ally turned foe of Tinubu.
The ADC's grassroots support and political machinery are expected to bolster Atiku's campaign. Critics have accused Tinubu of failing to address hunger and poverty during his two-year administration, sparking opposition from leaders like Atiku.
