2027: Atiku and the desperate last dance

The 2027 presidential bid of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has been described as a "desperate last dance" by an analysis. Atiku's recent political moves have raised questions about his chances in the upcoming election.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed confidence in its electoral prospects, with National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda dismissing the threat posed by opposition parties. According to Yilwatda, the APC recently won four out of five by-elections, with the only loss being to the APM, not to major opposition parties like the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

Atiku Abubakar has reportedly called on President Tinubu to apologise and leave the stage, though details of this are not specified. The APC's electoral performance and opposition parties' chances are being closely watched ahead of the 2027 general elections.
