Breaking: 2027 Election Will Be My Last Outing — Atiku
Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has declared that the 2027 presidential election will mark his final attempt at contesting for the nation’s highest office.
Atiku made the disclosure during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Wednesday, where he reflected on his long-running political ambition that dates back to 1992.
The former presidential candidate, who has consistently featured in Nigeria’s electoral contests over the past three decades, stated that he intends to step away from future presidential races after the 2027 poll, describing it as his “last outing.”
Atiku’s remark comes amid ongoing political realignments and early maneuvering ahead of the 2027 general elections, with key political actors already positioning themselves for potential bids.
He has previously contested for the presidency multiple times under different political platforms, making him one of Nigeria’s most enduring presidential aspirants in the Fourth Republic.
