Atiku Abubakar (GCON) is Nigeria’s former Vice President and a perennial heavyweight in the country’s political landscape. Known as the “Waziri of Adamawa,” Atiku has been a leading voice in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) since its inception.
In early 2026, Atiku made headlines by officially declaring his intention to run for the presidency in 2027, dismissing calls to step aside for younger candidates. He is currently a key architect of the proposed “Mega Party” alliance involving the ADC and other opposition blocs. This tag provides the latest news on Atiku’s political travels, his stance on the 2026 Electoral Act Amendment, and his strategic maneuvers to reconcile factions within the opposition before the next general election.
