Atiku Abubakar to Campaign Nationwide for 2027 Election

Phrank Shaibu, the Director of Strategic Communication for the African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council, announced that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar will campaign in all 36 states of Nigeria ahead of the 2027 presidential election. This announcement contrasts with President Bola Tinubu's strategy of limiting his campaign participation due to governance responsibilities.

Shaibu emphasized that Atiku's campaign would not focus solely on northern Nigeria, stating that a detailed schedule would be released soon. The campaign will encompass town hall meetings, community engagements, and visits to local government areas and villages, aiming to connect directly with Nigerians facing economic hardships.

Shaibu asserted that the economic struggles are a nationwide issue that would influence voter decisions, and he expressed confidence that Atiku's appeal extends beyond the North, predicting broad support from Nigerians experiencing economic difficulties.
