2027 will be my last presidential run – Atiku

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said the 2027 presidential election may be his final attempt to become Nigeria’s leader, citing his age and the high stakes involved.

Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election, made the remark during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday evening.

Responding to a 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,” he said. Punch
