Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is once again in motion, working tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare for another presidential run in 2027. Undeterred by multiple defeats, Atiku is doubling down on consultations, meetings, and strategic planning, signaling that he still believes his time could come.
Sources within the People’s Democratic Party confirm that Atiku has been engaging key political figures across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, building alliances that could make him a stronger contender next time. He has also begun reshaping his narrative, shifting focus from past grievances to themes of rebuilding, unity, and economic recovery. Atiku’s camp believes that widespread discontent over the current state of governance offers him a fresh opportunity to position himself as the experienced hand Nigeria needs.
Critics, however, argue that Atiku’s repeated failures are a sign that the electorate is looking for newer voices. Nevertheless, few can ignore his resilience and the depth of his political network. In a country where persistence often pays off in politics, Atiku’s continued ambition might still carry him closer to the presidency he has sought for decades.
