2027 election will be my last try for presidency — Atiku

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has stated that the 2027 presidential election will be his final attempt at securing Nigeria’s highest political office.

Atiku, who has been a recurring presidential candidate since 1992, made the declaration during an interview on **Arise News’ Prime Time programme on Wednesday.

“The 2027 election will be my last outing,” he said.

Responding to questions about why Nigerians should still support him after multiple attempts and considering his age, the former vice president argued that Nigeria’s main challenge remains leadership, adding that he embodies both experience and vision for the country’s future.

He also emphasised the need for leadership development among young Nigerians, noting that the country would benefit from structured training for emerging leaders.
