Atiku Says Tinubu’s 2027 Endorsement Means Nothing Because Only Nigerians Can Decide
Former presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has dismissed the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s second term bid by APC governors and leaders of the National Assembly, calling it a desperate move from a panicked administration. The endorsement came during the APC National Summit in Abuja, where Senate President Godswill Akpabio declared Tinubu the party’s and Nigeria’s sole candidate for the 2027 election.
Reacting through his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku said the approval of Nigerians, not political endorsements, will decide the future of the country. He criticized the Tinubu-led administration for focusing on 2027 while the nation struggles with worsening insecurity and economic hardship.
“Our coalition is confident because we’ve prepared well,” Ibe told journalists in Abuja. “It’s the Nigerian people who will decide, not staged endorsements. The way this administration is behaving shows they are clearly worried.” He added that while families battle rising food prices, school fees, and lack of access to healthcare, the government seems more interested in political drama than solving real problems.
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.
