The 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has fired back at President Bola Tinubu over his recent 2027 election remarks.
Atiku urged Tinubu to focus on wrestling with Nigeria’s mounting failures rather than political opponents.
Speaking through his media office, the former vice president listed the economy, insecurity, and widespread hardship as areas where the administration has fallen short.
He described Tinubu’s early focus on the next election as a distraction from the urgent problems ordinary Nigerians face daily.
Atiku’s rebuke comes amid growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 polls, with opposition figures already positioning themselves.
Many Nigerians are tired of leaders who prioritise political battles over governance, and Atiku’s comments tap into that frustration. The exchange signals a heated political season ahead.
