A prominent figure within the opposition coalition, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has declared his readiness to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race in favour of a younger, energetic, and widely accepted candidate, provided such a person emerges under the ADC platform.
The former Vice President made this known in an interview granted to the BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday, expressing his willingness to forgo his own presidential ambition.
Atiku stressed that his interest in the 2027 election is not driven by personal ambition but rather by the desire to offer a credible alternative that can rescue Nigerians.
“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 went on to encourage young Nigerians to become actively involved in politics, assuring them of his full support should such a candidate be chosen to run for the presidency.
The former Vice President also refuted suggestions that he is desperate to occupy the nation's highest office, stating that his sole concern is “rescuing Nigeria from the people that have held it hostage.”
