Atiku’s 2027 Ambition: Unity at Stake or Self-Service?

Atiku Abubakar’s declaration of his “last shot” at the presidency in 2027 sparks debate about age, judgment and true intent. At 81, does his ambition serve Nigeria’s needs or personal pride? Nigeria follows an unwritten rule of rotating power. After a northerner and then a southerner, many expect the South to complete its term before power returns north. His bid may upset that fragile balance. His history of party shifts and broken promises deepens scepticism. Voices within the opposition warn that coalition unity demands respect and clear commitments, not repeated candidacy vows. Atiku stands at a crossroads. He can choose to unite the nation with humility and trust or risk further division in a coalition and country that crave balance and genuine service.
