    2027: Atiku Hints At Presidential Bid, Declares War On Corruption

    Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly hinted at contesting the 2027 presidential election, vowing to wage an unrelenting war against corruption if elected.

    Atiku, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, made this declaration in a viral video currently circulating on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where he spoke in Hausa to a group of supporters.

    In the video, the former vice president pledged to punish any government official found guilty of corruption under his administration.

    “I swear to God, if elected, whoever steals or engages in any corruption-related activities, we will declare war against them and they must be punished,” he said.

    The statement is coming amid widespread speculation that Atiku has realigned his political strategy ahead of 2027, following his association with the newly formed coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

    Although he is yet to officially renounce his membership of the PDP, sources close to the political heavyweight say his loyalty now lies with the new opposition alliance.

    The coalition, which aims to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), recently named former Senate President David Mark as its Interim National Chairman and ex-Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola as the Interim National Secretary. Atiku’s visible involvement in the group is fuelling talks of his political rebirth under a new banner.

    This development comes on the heels of increasing political realignments across Nigeria’s political landscape as key players jostle for relevance ahead of the 2027 general elections.

    Atiku, 78, remains one of the most formidable political figures in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, having contested the presidency six times. Despite repeated losses, his political machinery remains active and influential, especially in the northern region and among pro-reform groups within the opposition.

    His latest anti-corruption rhetoric is seen by analysts as a strategic move to reposition himself in the face of mounting public dissatisfaction over Nigeria’s economic struggles, insecurity, and perceived lack of accountability in governance.

    While an official declaration is still pending, Atiku’s body language and public statements appear to confirm his readiness to once again join the race for Aso Rock.
