Atiku Abubakar Appoints Kashim Imam for 2027 Campaign
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the ADC, appointed Kashim Ibrahim Imam to lead his campaign team, which also includes Nasir el-Rufai and Dele Momodu. Imam has notable political, business, and friendship ties with President Bola Tinubu.
Historically, Imam has been a significant figure in Borno politics, serving as the state chairman of the SDP in the 90s and competing against Ali Modu Sheriff in gubernatorial elections. Imam's connections to Tinubu are underscored by their shared business dealings, particularly through Alpha Beta, which generated substantial revenue for Lagos State.
In 2019, Alpha Beta raised $718 million, and reports indicate it earned N213 billion over two years for collecting N2.65 trillion on behalf of the public in Lagos. The severing of Imam's ties with Tinubu may create a deficit of trust within the APC, affecting political appointments and strategies as the 2027 elections approach.
