2027: Atiku knows he’s joking about presidential ambition – Presidency

Ibrahim Kabiru Masari, President Bola Tinubu's political adviser, has stated that the African Democratic Congress candidate Atiku Abubakar is joking about his ambition to run for president in 2027. Speaking at the Jigawa State Academics Forum, Masari suggested that Atiku knows he is merely joking and making light of the situation.

The All Progressives Congress, led by Tinubu, is described as Nigeria's dominant political party. The 2027 election, according to Masari, is a decision between continuing the Tinubu administration's initiatives and reverting to the opposition. He highlighted infrastructure development, economic diversification, security, and poverty reduction as areas where the government is focusing efforts.

Masari also acknowledged the Jigawa State Academics Forum for its endorsement of Tinubu and Governor Umar Namadi for another term in office.
