Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) nominee in the 2023 election, announced his intention to run for president in 2027, a move that the All Progressives Congress (APC) called the most absurd development of 2024.

The former vice president is expected to suffer a “heavy defeat” in 2027, according to APC Director of Publicity Bala Ibrahim. This is in response to Daniel Bwala, Atiku’s spokesperson, stating that Atiku plans to run for office once more.

Atiku lost his six prior attempts to win the presidency in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023. Bwala referred to him as “the president we never had” despite his string of defeats, citing his knowledge of the private sector and expertise.

But according to the APC, Atiku has lost all of his “value.” “Our party, the All Progressive Congress, thrashed Atiku not once, not twice,” Ibrahim declared. We beat him handily, even when we believed he had the vigor and minimal credibility to appeal to Nigerians.

“How can someone who is merely attempting to get back on track be a danger to the APC in 2027? That is preposterous; the APC can never be threatened by Atiku. When he was not valuable, he posed no threat. Given how worthless he already is, how can he pose a threat? That is an unfulfillable dream.

Ibrahim said that Atiku should give up politics, claiming that his advisors were deceiving him. However, Ibrahim Abdullahi, the PDP’s deputy publicity secretary, took issue with this statement.

“It (PDP) is a political party,” he declared. A political party’s ultimate purpose is to establish leadership. Therefore, individuals should not start organizing if they want to run on the PDP platform for president, governor, senator, or any other office in 2027. After all, that’s one method to keep a political party alive.

Regarding the timing, he stated, “You can’t just tell somebody to stop nurturing ambition when you wake up in the morning. It isn’t a political party then. I take the question to suggest that the political party will suffer if they go on advancing their political ambitions; however, it is untrue.

As a politician, I am aware that politics is about interests and ambition. Therefore, it is not too early if people begin vying for power now, before 2027 as you view it.

To ensure that they promote it in a positive environment and maintain the political party, they must rise beyond the rank and file. Therefore, I believe that this is a positive development. Once it is done within the bounds of the law, they ought to be permitted to do it.

“We want individuals to promote the party and be able to express interest in specific offices; we’re not just asking them to go out and campaign or rally for support.
