Atiku Abubakar Urges No Delay for 2027 Election

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has cautioned the administration against any attempts to postpone the presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2027. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the ADC, voiced his concerns after meeting with the leadership of the TinubuMustGo movement in Abuja.

He alleged that there were indications the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) might seek to shift the election date due to their campaign experience in Kaduna State. Atiku stated, "Whatever it is, they must hold the election, and when they hold it, we will vote them out." The ADC Presidential Campaign Council has also raised alarms about potential pressure on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to alter the election timetable.

They warned that any changes should only occur with transparent justification. The council insisted that the election date belongs to Nigerians and should not be altered through private discussions at the Presidential Villa, urging Professor Joash Amupitan to resist any such pressures.
