Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 Outlook: ‘It’s Not Certain I’ll Become President’ – Nigerians Respond

Atiku, who was represented at the event by Ola Olateju of Achievers University, Owo, Ondo State, recently resigned from the PDP alongside other opposition politicians to join the ADC.

Olateju stated, “Atiku Abubakar’s focus is on building a better Nigeria. It’s not about him being president; it’s about establishing good governance that delivers results for Nigerians. This is why many of us support him. ADC is not merely a political party—it is a movement of Nigerians striving for a better Nigeria.”

He added that the ADC movement aims to reposition the country for progress and growth. “This is a new beginning, a fresh journey for Nigeria. The goal is not personal ambition; the priority is a nation that works effectively for its citizens,” Olateju said.

Atiku also lamented the hardships Nigerians face due to fuel subsidy removal and rising inflation, asserting that a better Nigeria is achievable with effective leadership. He expressed confidence that God would use the coalition members to bring meaningful change to the country.

On who will be the ADC presidential flagbearer in 2027, Atiku emphasized that the party members will decide. “It cannot be predetermined. Whoever emerges through free and fair contests will have our support. It is not about Atiku or Obi at all costs; the focus is a better Nigeria. The person who secures the ticket will represent the collective voice and aspirations of Nigerians,” he said.
