Why Atiku Abubakar Still Sees a Path to the Presidency Ahead of 2027
Atiku Abubakar has pursued Nigeria’s presidency for decades and remains one of the country’s most persistent political contenders. Despite several unsuccessful bids, the former vice president says his experience in government and business still equips him to lead. He continues to point to economic hardship, insecurity, job creation and national unity as reasons to remain active in politics. Supporters see his long record as valuable experience, while critics argue that Nigeria needs younger leaders and a break from the political establishment. The debate over Atiku’s ambition reflects a wider question ahead of the 2027 election: should voters prioritise experience, new faces or any candidate with practical solutions that can improve daily life? His biggest task will be persuading Nigerians that he can still represent meaningful change.
