Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said the 2027 presidential election may be his final attempt to become Nigeria’s leader, citing his age and the high stakes involved.
Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, made the remark during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday evening.
Responding to a question on whether turning 80 by 2027 would make the stakes higher for him, Atiku said it would likely be his last outing.

“Certainly yes, because the stakes are higher, and I believe that will be my last outing in ADC,” he said.
Atiku has made multiple attempts to become Nigeria’s president since returning to partisan politics in 2003.
He first contested the presidency in 1993 under the Social Democratic Party (SDP) primaries before stepping down for the late Moshood Abiola.
