Atiku Urges Tinubu Administration to Protect Peter Obi Ahead of 2027 Poll

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has warned the Tinubu administration against any action that could threaten the safety of former Anambra Governor Peter Obi as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 election. Atiku stressed that “nothing must happen” to Obi, arguing that the government has a constitutional duty to protect all political actors regardless of party affiliation. He said democracy is strongest when opposition figures can campaign without fear of intimidation. His caution comes amid growing party realignments and coalition talks ahead of what promises to be a closely contested poll. The presidency has not yet responded to Atiku’s comments. With less than a year to go, observers expect campaign activities and debates over electoral fairness to intensify across the country.
