Atiku’s ally speaks on whether PDP candidate will run for president again or not

Daniel Bwala, a former spokesperson for the defunct presidential campaign organisation of Atiku Abubakar, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain will still contest for the presidential seat in 2027.

Bwala made this known during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today on Tuesday night, January 2.

Legit.ng reports that Atiku, 77, ran unsuccessfully for President of Nigeria six times, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.

Asked if the former PDP vice president will be running again for president, PDP's Daniel replied:

“Sure, he would run. He has the capacity, he has the wisdom, he has the knowledge, he has the energy and the zest, and he is a president we never had, because to be honest with you, if there is any politician who understands the private sector, it is Atiku Abubakar. And this our economy can only come alive if there is a private sector-led economy.”
