2027, Nothing can stop me – Atiku likens himself to Abraham Lincoln:

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has declared that nothing can stop him from winning the 2027 election because he’s full of life and energy.

Atiku said he has contested and lost presidential and governorship elections severally, like the former United States President, Abraham Lincoln.

In an interview with Jaji TV Hausa, Atiku recalled how he contested the governorship seat in Adamawa State four times but the elections were cancelled by the military administration, only for him to win at that fifth attempt.

He said: “I am fit, healthy and full of energy, nothing can stop me. Let me tell you this, long before I ever won a governorship election, I contested four times, and each time the military regimes cancelled the process.

“It was only on my fifth attempt that I succeeded and became Vice President of Nigeria. This is nothing new in politics. How many times did Abraham Lincoln lose elections before he finally became President of the United States?

Behold the next president of Nigeria 🇳🇬

I received a delegation of Ekiti ADC stakeholders, led by H.E. Prof. Kolapo Olusola Eleka, a former Deputy Governor of the state.

I am pleased with their commitment to our party and the rescue mission. We resolved to strengthen our partnership and also reviewed how to better position the party in Ekiti ahead of 2027. -AA

Fresh discussions are reportedly underway among major opposition figures as efforts intensify to build a stronger united front ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The G100, a coalition of concerned Nigerians, has reportedly begun consultations with leaders and representatives of major opposition political parties as part of its push for greater cooperation among the opposition.

According to reports, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde are expected to be part of a major opposition summit scheduled for August 18 in Abuja.

The proposed meeting is expected to focus on how the various opposition forces can work together, reduce division and possibly arrive at a common strategy ahead of 2027.

The bigger question remains:

Can Mr Peter obi put personal interests aside and throw his support for Atiku Abubakar to build a genuinely united political alternative?

Nigeria's political landscape may be heading towards an interesting 2027.

What do you think?
