Atiku defended democracy by saying that everyone has an equal opportunity to run for office in response to requests for younger people to oversee the nation.
Let the young people compete today. We have democracy,” he declared.
Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers State and a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has indicated interest in running for president in 2027. Naija News understands that Atiku might run on the ADC’s platform.
The coalition member Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, has also persisted on running in the upcoming election.
This demonstrates that the former vice president is not prepared to resign for any candidate running under the coalition, especially in light of Atiku’s most recent attempt to secure the party ticket.
