2027: I Will Continue Running For President If God Gives Me Good Health - Atiku by Good01(op): 8:06am On May 24, 2024
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says he will continue to run for the presidency of Nigeria if he is healthy, despite the challenges his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently facing.

Atiku has ran to become Nigeria’s President for six times within three decades, his most recent attempt being in the 2023 presidential election as the PDP candidate.

At his last attempt, the 77-year-old got 6,984,520 votes to come second in the poll won by Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who garnered 8,794,726.

When asked whether he would try again, Atiku told Voice of America Hausa: “God willing”.

He added that he won’t back down from running for President “As long as God gives me strength, good health, and long life”.

“A former President of America, Abraham Lincoln, didn’t he vie seven times?” he asked rhetorically.

The former vice president also admitted that it is important for the PDP to collaborate with other parties to regain power from the incumbent APC.

“As the PDP party is right now, it is the only one standing up for election. There is no way it will win the election. It requires joining forces with other parties,” he said.

That is if 2017 selection will hold..... Nigeria is dying, I have 49% doubt it it will exist till that time. Atiku is not a kid in Nigeria politics, he will know if there is need, when and how to it

If PDP should hand this MaN their party ticket again will be a monkery on a party who have sitting Governors scatter over Nigeria.

PDP should hand their party ticket to a southern candidate Udom Emmanuel or osinbajo is not a bad choice. But for them to give it to Atiku again kilode na only he dey na so PDP a one time biggest party in Africa now a personal property? Haba na

Common guy. You expect him to tell you he is no longer running and lose all support before 2026? No guy, you don't do politics that way..... You'll continue playing and keep your ace till it's needed angry

Abraham Lincoln of Nigeria, if i may ask what is he coming to change or he's just after the national cake, if Nigeria was a sane place, Akuwumi Adesina, Peter Obi, Ngozi Okonjo iwella would together lead this country out of this mess if that is ever possible, Maybe Divide the country into 4 Regions, dismantle the so called national assembly

Bad history repeats itself due to foolishness of men?

Why can't they find a young, vibrant guy with national appeal ...

Neither Obi or Atiku can fight the current establishment and win...

We can choose to remain emotional... it's the fact !

This means that brother Peteru only went to beg his master for VP slot the other day.
Atiku&Obi for 2054, who says no?

Meanwhile, anyone planning to become PDP flag bearer should forget it. Atiku is not planning to give that up soon.
Nyesom Wike, Sorry o cheesy

It will be useless for anybody to waste his/her time voting in 2027 election if Atiku and Obi run in different parties. People were too sentimental about Atiku in the 2023 election due to the fact that he is from the North. If his emergence made life better today won't it be better than Tinubu South presidency killing the nation with hunger, untold suffering and suffocation. Then my opinion was that isn't about North or South this is about Nigerians survival. Emotions and sentiment has never helped anyone and it will not help us in the future if you say that it most be Obi. Obi cannot win an election if he is not running in PDP. Next election will be worst for him if he contested under any party because the state government in PDP controlled State now know what to do to win their State for their party. My opinion should be Atiku/Obi ticket otherwise Tinubu will win and presidency will now go to the North and Obi won't get that wide support but strangely, those who are saying that North shouldn't run now, then they would still support Obi by drawing references to anyone.
Re: 2027: I Will Continue Running For President If God Gives Me Good Health - Atiku by StOla: 10:25am On May 24, 2024
Atiku Just had to come out to clarify the misunderstood statement about him supporting Peter Obi. He will only provide such support after he has lost out I. The contest for the ticket, not before. And obviously, we know Obi cannot match any serious candidate in a major party. Obi only wants to be gifted party tickets and not compete for it.


This is like saying Obi will continue to be my boy boy.

As far as Nigerian National Politics is concerned, Peter Obi is Atiku's Nwa Boy.

Before Atiku's influence in his political career, Obi said he would not be found campaigning in Kano or Katsina.

Now Obi dey read Koran and observe Ramadan in Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Jigawa and Bauchi, in an attempt to get the kind of Northern support that President Tinubu used to defeat Atiku and Obi in the NorthWest and NorthCentral

Re: 2027: I Will Continue Running For President If God Gives Me Good Health - Atiku by StOla: 10:30am On May 24, 2024
Atiku's greed and desperation for the Nigerian Presidency will never allow him support another in his own place.

He keeps running and failing, while Tinubu took a long break from political office pursuit to support others in different political offices, then ran only once to claim the Presidency.

In life, know your turn so you will not be aimless and fruitless in your pursuit.
