Former Vice President and frequent presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has stated that the members of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will determine his candidacy for the 2027 general elections.
He mentioned that it is too soon to decide whether he will run for the presidency in the upcoming elections.
He stated that if PDP members unanimously decide to zone the party’s presidential candidate to the South East, he will comply with their decision.
“I’ve made it clear since last elections that if our party members had a consensus that southeast should produce the candidate, we would all agree. And if our parties also had a similar agreement, then so be it,’’ Atiku said.
He refuted claims that he would relinquish from active politics after the 2023 polls adding, “We fiercely fought even the military governments; let alone the civilian administrations. So, if you’re thinking otherwise, you might be dreaming. We would never retrace from fighting injustice, and bad governance. I am not yet tired of the political activism.’’
Atiku added that his not retiring from active politics does not in any way block the chances of fresh blood to have their shots.
Asked if his recent talks with topnotch politicians across the country might be a litmus test for eyeing up towards 2027 polls, he said, “We are in a democratic system and don’t forget that we are those who fought for its entrenchment. So, we are going to continue entrenching good governance and a sound democratic system. We would never fold our arms watching things deteriorating.”
