Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, promised his supporters that he would run for president in 2027.
Tunde Olusunle, one of Atiku’s spokespersons during the 2023 presidential election, provided the clarification.
Olusunle told ThisDay that Atiku would run again in 2027 because President Bola Tinubu’s administration needs to save Nigeria from the Intensive Care Unit.
Olusunle revealed that after reading reports that Atiku was not desperate to become president, he made the clarification from his vacation home in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Ola Olateju, who spoke on behalf of Atiku at a gathering in Lagos over the weekend, stated that the former vice president was not in a desperate attempt to become president.
According to Olateju, Atiku intends to improve Nigeria.
Olusunle asserted that Atiku denied making the statement, emphasizing that it was not his.
“I didn’t make that claim. In order to stay on the same page, when someone fills in for me at events, we discuss my thoughts on the current topic and what my contribution or intervention will be.
“In this case, there was no interaction with me to elucidate my ideas. I wasn’t speaking for Prof. Olateju.
