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 insists that no court ruling, political pressure or intimidation will force him to withdraw from the contest and emphasizes that Nigerians must be allowed to determine their political future through a free, fair and credible election.

He accused those in power of deploying political pressure, courtroom manoeuvres and other tactics to frustrate opposition parties rather than allowing Nigerians to assess their performance.
