Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has said that his bid for the 2027 presidency will be his final attempt to lead Nigeria.
Atiku disclosed this during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Wednesday.
Answering question on whether turning 80 by 2027 would make the stakes higher for him, Atiku said it would likely be his last outing.
“Certainly yes, because the stakes are higher and I believe that will be my last outing,” Atiku said.
He said he remains committed to Nigeria but acknowledged that time and political realities would make 2027 his last shot.
As well, Atiku expressed worries over the current state of the nation, pointing to economic challenges, insecurity, and governance issues as reasons he believes experienced leadership is urgently needed.
