Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President of Nigeria, has announced his intention to run in the country's 2027 presidential election, countering rumors that he planned to withdraw from the contest.
The announcement was conveyed by his longtime associate and former campaign spokesperson, Tunde Olusunle, following a private meeting with the former Vice President.
Atiku also commented on the recent performance of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, a party he is now aligned with after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He stated that while the new coalition was not able to significantly influence the outcome of the latest by-elections, it remains a powerful movement that will be a major force in the next general election.
He expressed a strong commitment to what he described as rescuing Nigeria from its current troubled state, citing issues of governance and accountability under the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Atiku vowed that the ADC-led movement would mobilize citizens to challenge the political establishment and deliver a surprise result in 2027.
