ADC's Igbawua Defends Atiku Against Kwankwaso's Call
Chille Igbawua, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former member of the House of Representatives, has publicly rejected Rabiu Kwankwaso's suggestion that Atiku Abubakar should withdraw from the 2027 presidential race. Kwankwaso, a former Governor of Kano State, urged Atiku to step aside for a younger candidate, citing worries about Atiku's age and health.
In an interview on Arise Television, Igbawua stated that there is no evidence to support claims regarding Atiku's health and argued that age should not determine a person's ability to govern. He criticized the notion that Atiku should step down for the opposition to "take care of him" if they win, calling it insulting.
Despite the disagreement, Igbawua affirmed the ADC's openness to dialogue with other opposition parties ahead of the election, expressing confidence that the ADC could defeat the incumbent President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
