Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President of Nigeria, is preparing to run for president once again in the 2027 elections, despite facing setbacks in the past.
The announcement was made by Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Organisation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023.
Bwala stated that Atiku is determined to contest in the upcoming general elections, despite his previous unsuccessful attempts.
Bwala emphasized Atiku’s qualifications for the presidency, highlighting his capacity, wisdom, knowledge, and energy.
He also praised Atiku’s understanding of the private sector, stating that a private sector-led economy is crucial for the country’s economic growth.
Atiku has previously contested the presidential elections in Nigeria six times, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and most recently in 2023, where he faced another defeat.
However, some political analysts believe that Atiku’s persistent presidential ambitions may be causing internal conflicts within the PDP.
