Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has launched a fresh call for a united political movement aimed at removing President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
Atiku, who contested and lost the 2023 presidential election under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), made the call during a gathering held in his honor on Tuesday in Yola, Adamawa State.
Addressing a crowd of supporters, he emphasized the urgency of reclaiming Nigeria’s path to progress through collective action.
“The future of our nation depends on our ability to unite and take decisive steps toward real change,” Atiku declared. “Nigeria deserves better leadership—one that is accountable, inclusive, and focused on the people’s needs rather than political elites,” Atiku said.
The former vice president criticized the current administration’s handling of governance, security, and the economy, arguing that its policies have worsened the country’s challenges. He insisted that Nigerians must rally behind a new movement to restore hope and deliver good governance.
Atiku also commended Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo for organizing the event, urging him and other political leaders to intensify efforts in mobilizing support ahead of the next election cycle.
In his remarks, Senator Abbo reaffirmed his loyalty to Atiku and the movement, stressing that the initiative transcends personal ambition. “This is about rescuing Nigeria from failed leadership and ensuring that the will of the people prevails,” Abbo stated.
As the event concluded, Atiku’s supporters expressed renewed determination to drive the movement forward, setting the stage for what could be a major political showdown in 2027.
