Stay away from 2027 presidential election, Fayose advises Atiku
Erstwhile Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has told former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to shelve his ambition of leading the country.
Atiku had run for President in Nigeria in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023, with three losses occurring at primaries.
His moves and body-language and the people around him indicate that he may throw his heart in the ring again for the 2027 presidential elections.
The 77-year-old, in an interview with Voice of America Hausa earlier this year stated that he has not given up on becoming Nigeria’s president, saying “God willing”, when asked whether he would try again.
