Tinubu and Atiku Compete for Buhari's Loyalists Ahead of 2027 Elections

Ahead of the 2027 elections in Nigeria, political heavyweights like President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are vying for the support of President Muhammadu Buhari's loyalists. The ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), is making efforts to solidify Buhari's political base, while the opposition is attempting to weaken the ruling party's hold in the north.

Atiku has been engaging with former allies, and there are reports of other politicians like Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola working to challenge Tinubu in 2027. This political maneuvering is crucial for the future political landscape of Nigeria.
