A political message shared on Thursday, May 14, on X has claimed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is entering the 2027 presidential race with strong momentum following the submission of his nomination form under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Atiku's ADC Nomination Submission
The post, shared by Royalty E. Uso, Senior Special Assistant on New Media to Atiku, came with pictures and a bold assessment of the political landscape ahead of the election. It stated that Atiku is going into the contest with what it described as a furious, united North and growing support across parts of the South.
Political Landscape and Rival Divisions
The message also suggested that divisions among major political rivals are already working in his favour. According to the post, the opposition camp appears deeply split, with key figures pulling in different directions, a situation it claims is strengthening Atiku's position even before campaigning fully begins.
The message presented the 2027 race as one where internal fractures among rival blocs could play a major role in shaping the outcome, while portraying Atiku as benefiting from a more consolidated support base.
Background and Context
Atiku Abubakar, a prominent political figure in Nigeria, has contested for the presidency multiple times. His decision to run under the ADC marks a strategic shift. The former vice president, who served under President Olusegun Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007, has previously vied for the presidency under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other platforms.
As the 2027 elections approach, political realignments and coalition formations are expected to intensify. Atiku's entry with the ADC could reshape the dynamics, especially if he garners support from the North and parts of the South as claimed.
