Atiku Abubakar Confident About 2027 Presidential Bid

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President of Nigeria, stated in an interview on Arise Television that he believes he has a better chance of becoming president in the 2027 general elections. He highlighted the support from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a significant boost to his presidential ambitions, noting that the coalition includes political leaders from major parties.

Atiku emphasized the importance of a structured and inclusive alliance that transcends political divides, which he believes will strategically realign political forces ahead of the upcoming elections. Additionally, he criticized former President Goodluck Jonathan, describing him as a decent but inexperienced leader, whose lack of experience contributed significantly to his defeat in the 2015 presidential election.
