Punishment awaits corrupt people – Atiku hints on 2027 presidency
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has hinted at a potential presidential run in 2027 under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition. Speaking in Hausa, Atiku vowed to crack down on corruption if elected.
In a video on X, Atiku could be heard saying: “I swear to God, if elected, whoever steals or engages in any corruption-related activities, we will declare war against them and they must be punished”
Although he has not formally declared his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he represented in the 2023 election, Atiku is now a leading figure in the opposition coalition.
The coalition recently named David Mark as Interim National Chairman and Rauf Aregbesola as Interim National Secretary, signaling a new political alignment ahead of the next general election.
