Atiku Abubakar Urges Nigerians to Vote in 2027 Elections

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President, called on Nigerians to participate actively in the 2027 elections, urging them to treat the voting process as a critical moment akin to Judgment Day. During the flag-off of his presidential campaign in Sokoto, he alleged that members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were attempting to manipulate the electoral process by buying Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in northern Nigeria.

Atiku warned that low turnout from opposition supporters could create a false impression of insufficient support in the North. He emphasized the need for vigilance in protecting votes.

Atiku chose Sokoto for the campaign launch due to its historical and religious significance, stating it represents peace and coexistence among different faiths. He outlined promises for an ADC-led government, including addressing insecurity, reopening land borders, and making religious pilgrimages more affordable.

Atiku expressed sympathy for families affected by violence and reiterated the importance of active participation in the upcoming elections.
