Atiku Abubakar and Kwankwaso Strategize for 2027 Elections
• Punch Newspapers • Politics
On Wednesday, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar intensified consultations with key opposition figures ahead of the 2027 elections. He paid a courtesy visit to former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Chairman David Mark in Abuja. The meeting was described as an opportunity to chart strategies for good governance and strengthen the ADC ahead of the upcoming general elections. Atiku discussed the progress of the ADC and emphasized the need to ensure good governance and recovery for the people. The visit also allowed for the sharing of ideas to further bolster the ADC's position as a viable platform for disenchanted politicians seeking to challenge the ruling party. Analysts noted that Kwankwaso's recent defection injected fresh momentum into efforts to build a broad-based opposition coalition. The meeting attracted prominent political figures, including Peter Obi, former Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi, and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal.
