“Atiku Has the Right to Contest in 2027 and Won’t Step Down Under Pressure” – Sowunmi
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Otunba Segun Sowunmi, has stated that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will not be pressured into stepping down from his 2027 presidential ambition.
Sowunmi insisted that Atiku has every right to run for president, no matter how many times he has contested in the past. He noted that while Atiku has lost twice to the ruling APC—first to Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 and then to Bola Tinubu in 2023—those defeats should not disqualify him from future contests.
As discussions around the 2027 elections heat up, there’s growing debate over whether Atiku should make way for a younger candidate. But Sowunmi isn’t buying it. He argued that politics is full of persuasion and pressure, but the choice to contest is ultimately a personal one protected by law.
“People are spending too much time trying to force Atiku out instead of focusing on how to win the election. You can’t bully him. If anything, the more you try, the more determined he becomes,” Sowunmi said.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
