Nigerian politician Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged Atiku Abubakar, the ADC presidential candidate and former Vice President, to shift focus from his presidential bid. Kwankwaso, while meeting with members of the Fulani Farmers Association in Abuja, suggested that Atiku should withdraw from the 2027 presidential race due to his advanced age and health concerns.
The former Kano State governor emphasized that Atiku should instead concentrate on his traditional role as Wazirin of Adamawa, and called upon Atiku's supporters to persuade him to step aside. This appeal emerged as efforts to unite opposition candidates against incumbent President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election gained momentum.
Atiku, who has run for president several times before, including in 2007, 2011, 2019, and 2023, has expressed his potential retirement from the race, citing his age and the importance of the election.
