Deji Adeyanju, a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja, has made a bold statement regarding former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambitions. According to Adeyanju, Atiku will not stop contesting for the presidency due to his greed, over-bloated ego, and the alleged desire to gather money every four years. This statement comes as Nigeria looks forward to the 2027 presidential election. This declaration sheds light on Atiku’s persistent quest for the presidency, despite having run unsuccessfully for president six times in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.
It is worth noting that Atiku has always been a prominent figure in Nigerian politics. As the presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 and 2023 elections, he has continued to be a formidable force in the country’s political landscape. Adeyanju’s assertion about Atiku’s presidential aspirations has sparked debates and discussions among political analysts and enthusiasts.
In a recent tweet, Adeyanju expressed his views and concerns about Atiku’s unwavering determination to contest for the presidency. He stated that Atiku’s greed, over-bloated ego, and the alleged use of presidential contests to gather money every four years are the primary reasons why Atiku will not give up on his presidential dream.
The tweet read: “Atiku will not stop contesting because of greed, over-bloated ego and also because contesting has become his own MMM. He uses contesting to gather money every 4 years.”
This bold statement has fueled discussions about the underlying motivations behind Atiku’s relentless pursuit of the presidency. Many have expressed skepticism about his true intentions and reasons for consistently vying for the highest office in the land.
Furthermore, the statement by Adeyanju has drawn attention to the dynamics of Nigerian politics, especially with regard to the 2027 presidential election. It has prompted discussions about the role of money, ego, and personal ambitions in shaping the political landscape of the country.
Despite these debates and conversations, Atiku’s camp has made it clear that he has no intentions of retiring from Nigerian politics and will, in fact, contest in the 2027 election when he would have turned 80. This declaration has contributed to the ongoing dialogue surrounding Atiku’s presidential aspirations.
In addition to Adeyanju’s statement, Bode George, a former deputy national chairman of the PDP, has advised Atiku to forget about contesting again in 2027. George emphasized that Atiku would be too old to lead Nigeria by then and suggested that he should focus on mentoring the younger generation instead of pursuing his presidential ambitions.
Overall, the conversation around Atiku’s continued quest for the presidency has brought to light the complexities of Nigerian politics. It has sparked discussions about the motivations, ambitions, and implications of persistent presidential aspirations, shedding light on the underlying dynamics of the country’s political landscape.
As Nigeria looks ahead to the 2027 presidential election, the debates and discussions prompted by Adeyanju’s statement serve as a reminder of the complexities and nuances of Nigerian politics, offering valuable insights into the nature of leadership, ambition, and personal motivations in the country’s political arena.
