Nigeria’s former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has formally submitted his expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the 2027 presidential election under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Atiku, who has been running for president since 1992, disclosed this in a post shared on his X handle on Thursday, saying his presidential ambition as part of a national movement aimed at restoring prosperity and hope in Nigeria.
“The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the National Secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress,” he wrote.
“This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair.”
He called on Nigerians across religious, ethnic and regional divides to support his ambition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“I call on all Nigerians, regardless of region, faith, or background, to join us in this noble cause. Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again,” the former vice president said.
