From Victor Osula, Abuja
Former Nigerian Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said his presidential ambition for 2027 remains uncertain.
Atiku has contested the presidency six times. His remarks came a few days after he announced the formation of a coalition of opposition leaders to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
Speaking in a yet-to-be-aired interview with Adesuwa Giwa-Osagie for a television show called Untold Stories, Turaki Adamawa declared: “I don’t know because there has to be, first of all, a viable platform, more than at any other time in the political history of this country, particularly since the return of democracy.”
The former VP, however, did not rule out the possibility of contesting in the 2027 election, stating the need for Nigeria to have a competent leader.
“I have not seen Nigeria in dire need of, you know, an experienced and credible leadership than this time.
“We had a similar, you know, what would I say, merger in 2014. About four of us, or is it three?
“We all ran for president, and one of us emerged, and we all supported the one who emerged, and he won”, he said.
