No court ruling can keep me off 2027 ballot — Atiku

Former Vice-President and Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has vowed to remain in the 2027 presidential race despite a recent Federal High Court judgment affecting the leadership of the ADC and its presidential candidacy. Atiku maintains that Nigerians must be allowed to determine their political future through a free, fair, and credible election, and he accused those in power of using political pressure and other tactics to frustrate opposition parties.

He also expressed concerns over the handling of the economy, rising fuel prices, depreciation of the naira, increasing food costs, and insecurity, urging his supporters not to lose hope or surrender their democratic rights.
