Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar declared that as long as he is living and in good health, he will keep running for the nation’s top job.
In defense of his repeated attempts to win without success, Atiku, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) nominee for president in 2019 and 2023, pointed out that even Abraham Lincoln, a past president of the United States, had to run seven times before winning.
The former VP made the revelation about his intention to vie for the 2027 presidential election during an interview on the Hausa service of the Voice of America.
“Of course, I will keep contesting again and again as long as I am alive and healthy,” Atiku said. “Even the former US President Abraham Lincoln contested seven times before finally winning.”
His decision comes despite rumors that he was planning a merger or coalition to unseat the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027 with other opposition leaders including Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election.
However, Akin Osuntokun, a former director-general of the LP Presidential Campaign Council, stated that Obi would only think about rejoining the PDP in the event that he was granted the presidential ticket. [CONTINUE READING HERE]
