Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has announced that he is still in the race for the 2027 presidential election, asserting that no court decision or political trick will stop him from running.
In a statement released on Friday, November 6, Atiku emphasized that the recent court ruling does not reflect the wishes of the Nigerian people. He and his team are dedicated to participating in the electoral process.
He accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of using political pressure, legal tactics, and other means to undermine opposition parties and push Nigeria toward a single-party system.
The former vice president also claimed there are efforts to tamper with the voter registration list through fake AI-generated photos, false names, and made-up identities.
He questioned why a government that claims to have support from 32 governors and leaders of other parties would fear a fair election.
Atiku further criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration for its handling of the economy. He pointed out issues like the removal of fuel subsidies, currency depreciation, rising food prices, and factory closures affecting small businesses.
He also said the government has not done enough to tackle insecurity, as banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten communities nationwide.
According to him, the increasing cost of living is making it harder for Nigerians to care for their families, while many young people are leaving the country in search of better opportunities.
Atiku encouraged Nigerians not to lose hope or give up on their political future. He believes their votes are vital for shaping leadership in the country.
He vowed to fight against what he sees as attempts to turn Nigeria into a one-party state, insisting that democracy should allow for various political parties and differing opinions.
The former vice president challenged the ruling party to show its record before Nigerians in a fair and credible election instead of trying to weaken opposition forces.
He assured his supporters that his campaign would keep focusing on rising living costs and other issues facing Nigerians.
Atiku maintained that President Tinubu cannot use legal avenues to escape judgment from Nigerians at the polls.
