Former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has vowed to appoint more youths and women in his government if elected president in 2027.

“We will make sure that 70 per cent of our appointments will go to the youths and women,” Mr Abubakar said in a viral video circulating on social media on Saturday.

Mr Abubakar, who has contested the presidency six times in three decades, also promised a massive crackdown on corruption if elected president.

Promising zero tolerance for corruption, Mr Abubakar said Nigeria remained repressive because of a few corrupt individuals.

“I swear to God, if elected, whoever steals or engages in any corruption-related activities, we will declare war against them, and they must be punished,” Mr Abubakar said. “Other countries are advancing, but Nigeria remains regressive because of a few corrupt people.”

Mr Abubakar’s statement comes a few days after opposition politicians formed a coalition, adopting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their official party to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.

The other two members of the coalition, former Anambra Governor Peter Obi and former governor of Rivers Rotimi Amaechi, have promised to serve only one term.

Mr Abubakar’s promise to crack down on corruption comes a few years after he was caught admitting in an audio tape how he and others deployed onshore shell businesses to corner billions in federal contracts.

Also, Mr Abubakar was at the centre of a federal broadband contract scandal that engulfed former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s government.

The charges later saw the jailing of William Jefferson, at the time a serving member of the United States. American authorities said they found cash bribes believed to have come from a Nigerian racket in Mr Jefferson’s refrigerator while probing the case, but Mr Abubakar was never specifically charged.

Meanwhile, Mr Abubakar has contested the presidency six times: in 1993, he contested on the Social Democratic Party (SDP) platform; and in 2007, he contested on the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) platform, losing to Umar Ya’adua of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He challenged former President Goodluck Jonathan in the PDP’s primaries in 2011 and lost. After joining the APC in 2014 ahead of the 2015 election, Mr Abubakar lost the presidential primaries to Muhammadu Buhari.

The politician returned to the PDP in 2017 and lost the presidential election to Mr Buhari of the APC in 2019. He contested alongside Mr Tinubu in 2023 and also lost.

Don't forget how you are going to privatize everything and sell our infrastructure to your friends

Unlike Tinubu who is selling everything to himself, claiming the rest

ATIKU are you saying 70% of women are the ones managing your private investments ? Remember charity begin at home

Tired of this same lamba old cargo yi.

Talk another thing jaree..

It's high time Nigerians tell this man to go and relax, don't know is it by force to rule this country when it's obvious that the citizens don't want you to rule them.
They want to put the citizens inbetween the Devil and deep blue sea in 2027.
Instead of voting Atiku as an option will rather not vote at all

Atiku should go and rest. We don't want another version of Tinubu in Aso rock. This old man, I ask again, did they plant your placenta in Aso rock? Atiku, is Aso rock your papa's village? Atiku Biko nu rest o, I say rest in Jesus name, res! Haba!

So far na in 2031!

Big fallacy, let those pushing Obi, borrow wisdom this time around. All I will say, I have seen obidents movement becoming toxic since Friday.

Atiku, are you not going to wait till the ADC Presidential primaries to see whether Peter Obí will defeat you first or do you know something we don't?

Chai, see arrogance.

OYa na! Give your ticket to a notherner and see how tinubu will defeat him or her before noon. You think South East and south will vote for a northerner after Buhari's eight year.
Just dey play.

Tinubu is doing projects across the whole regions. He only failed in Managing our exchange rate and inflation because of the removal of fuel subsidy. If tinubu creates Anioms state and sign state policing to protect the belt and Northern minorities, it's game over for any opposition come 2027.

The only way tinubu will be defeated is if ADC fields a southerner and such candidate wins north east and north west with 65% Margin.

You will all suffer maladministration under Tinubu, and complaints for the next four years after this. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

We suffered under Buhari for eight years and we didn't die. Tinubu is trying after he inherited one of the worst and damaged economy in Africa.

Yes, president Tinubu has not done well in some sectors, but he is 100 times better than disastrous Buhari. The only way to defeat Mr president come 2027 is for north to vote for another southerner against him.
Give your ticket to Atiku or any other northerner and Tinubu will be announced winner before noon as he will gain at least 65% vote from South East, 65% vote from South South, 60% vote from north Central and 98% from south west.

Delusion is one of the greatest thing, how do you feel the North Central will go with West, with disastrous action of Tinubu. If Tinubu wins again, South East will not get a smell at presidency until 2039 and 2039, it will be North central's turn. Calm down and drink water.

It doesn't matter, but south East won't vote for atiku over Tinubu. Once Peter Obi is out of the equation, Tinubu will sweep south West, South East and south with over 90%. This is the Plain truth.

The man is ready and focused. Let the beat play on and dancers to come.
