The Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarewaju, on Tuesday said the momentum of the opposition would die if the former vice president stepped down from the presidential race ahead of 2027.
Olarewaju insisted that Atiku is the only candidate showing the capacity to match President Bola Tinubu locally and internationally.
Posting on X, he wrote: “Atiku steps down now and opposition momentum dies totally – an election with the incumbent as contestant is a different ballgame from a transition election.
“2027 is beyond Atiku. Atiku himself is the bridge for us to build and hold an opposition core, post-2027.
“Atiku is the only candidate showing capacity to match Bola Tinubu locally and internationally in 2027.
“Every election is unique and different and everyone should get ready.
“2023 went the way it did because Buhari wasn’t too invested in Tinubu’s victory, that’s why APC lost Lagos and communal rigging was allowed in many states.”
In another development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other presidential candidates on Tuesday signed the first National Peace Accord on issue-based campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections, with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) absent from the ceremony.
The accord, organised by the National Peace Committee in partnership with The Kukah Centre, commits political parties, presidential candidates and their supporters to peaceful campaigns, respect for electoral institutions and issue-based engagement ahead of the elections.
The signing took place in Abuja on the eve of the official commencement of public campaigns for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections. READ MORE
