Ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said he is prepared to shelve his presidential ambition in 2027 if a younger, vibrant and widely accepted candidate emerges.
Atiku, a key figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made this known in an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday.
He explained that his interest in the 2027 election was not driven by personal ambition but by the desire to offer Nigerians a credible alternative.
Atiku also urged younger Nigerians to get involved in politics, assuring that he would give them his full support if chosen to lead the opposition.
He dismissed claims that he was desperate for the presidency, stressing that his goal was to help rescue Nigeria from those who, according to him, had held it hostage.
“My being in the 2027 race does not prevent anyone from contesting. If a vibrant and widely accepted younger candidate emerges, I am willing to step aside,” Atiku said.
