Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, is unperturbed by reports that former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, is set to contest the 2027 presidency.
This position was made known by his media aide, Paul Ibe, while reacting to speculations that Jonathan might contest the 2027 presidency.
Speaking in an interview with Trust TV, Ibe said Atiku would welcome the competition, noting that everyone reserves the right to test his/her popularity with Nigerians at the polls.
“As a democrat, Atiku’s policy is the more the merrier. Everyone should go to the field and test their popularity. These narratives and shenanigans are the handiwork of the Tinubu administration, which knows how difficult re-election will be given its record. Their policies only work for the urban bandits,” he said.
Speaking further, Naija News reports that Ibe described Atiku as a very tolerant person, who is passionate about Nigeria and respects the people.
“Who can be more broad-minded than Atiku Abubakar? He is an open book. He’s very tolerant, very passionate about Nigeria. He respects people, loves bright minds, and during the Obasanjo era, he brought some of the best talents into government,” he said.
