I am willing to step aside from 2027 elections if a younger candidate emerges — Atiku Abubakar




Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said he is ready to drop his 2027 presidential ambition if a younger, vibrant and widely accepted candidate emerges under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Atiku, a key member of the opposition coalition, made this known in an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday. He stressed that his interest in the race is not driven by personal ambition but by the need to provide Nigerians with a credible alternative.

“My being in the 2027 race does not prevent anyone from contesting. If a vibrant and widely accepted younger candidate emerges, I am willing to step aside,” Atiku said.

He dismissed suggestions that he is desperate for the presidency, saying his concern is to “rescue Nigeria from those who have held it hostage.”

Atiku also urged young Nigerians to take politics seriously, assuring that he would give his full backing if a younger candidate is chosen to represent the coalition.

    There's a BIG NEWS for Facebook Creators By Glen Dave Starting from August 31, 2025, Facebook will be replacing its current mon£tization program with a new Content Mon€tization Program.  My people, these are what they are changing:  1. So instead of 10,000 followers, you’ll now only need 5,000 followers to monetize.  2. Fact-checker is gone: No more content takedowns from fact-check tools. I'm very excited about this one because these Fact-checkers are something else, they can take down your Content for no reason. Most of them working with Facebook are Nigerians oo.

MONEY IS INDEED THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, VDM REPLIES PHYNA

Image
  VDM REPLIES PHYNA: Money is indeed the root of all evil. Immediately I saw the list of the things Phyna wanted from Dangote, I smiled.  N1billion was at the top, scholarship for her sister's kids, her sister flown abroad amongst others, I just shook my head. If I had made it to the meeting, we will not speak about money.  We would request that her sister be flown abroad first, then scholarship and Dangote should place Ruth on Salary for life. She probably didn't like my body language when she showed me the list and when I asked that the bikeman should be added.  What secret is there about your family matter that has been on blogs since last week? Is your sister having two kids something to hide in a case like this? Should that be a secret to the public? Why didn't you tell the public you demanded for N1billion from Dangote. You only came back to cry to the public when things didn't go your way
