1 Oktoba 2025, Abuja, Najeriya – Tsohon mataimakin Shugaban Najeriya, Atiku Abubakar, don see dem wahala wey dey face am for the upcoming 2027 presidential election as e confirm say e no sure whether e go run again. Gist come from wetin e talk during one special interview wey BBC Hausa run.
Atiku, wey don dey inside the political game for almost 40 years, talk say right now, im focus na to make sure say im new party, ADC, go gain solid ground. As we fit see, na the regular political dance as e dey happen for Naija.
Dem ask am if he go stand for president, Atiku just smile wey say, “My dear, make we sabi if di time reach. For now, e get wahala wey I dey handle for my new party.” Na serious matter o!
Atiku don face plenty raha since e join APC, and e no shy to voice am out. Last month, e decided to waka comot from PDP, where e don run for presidential ticket two times. Im say PDP don lose touch with wetin e believe.
PDP come catch this fashi, dem talk say Atiku no fit shake dem ground. Na during im time as Vice President, im run for governor of Adamawa too but na wahala the matter be since dem no gree am. Na 1999 how him become Vice under Obasanjo na the time im get chance again.
This new political drama comes as Atiku dey eye younger politicians. E talk say, “If I run again and dem beat me, I go collect my L and support any young person wey fit carry the flag.” Na proper plan wey show say e dey think about the future.
Meanwhile, for Naija politics, e no fit talk without bringing Kwankwaso matter come inside. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso don dey hint say e wan move back to APC. Dis one fit shake things expire for Kano politics as people dey wonder wetin go happen to NNPP as dem dey face internal wahala.
Kwankwaso don lead Kano before and if e return to APC, e fit cause serious commotion because Ganduje, wey na im rival, dey inside APC too. Na like this, two political giants go dey under one umbrella, wey fit change the game completely. E remain to see how this political soap opera go unfold.
A Hausa folk say, “The one who knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is a fool. Shun him.” But in politics, e be like say all of dem wey dey play for this political play don lose direction somehow. Atiku, Kwankwaso… Na all of dem dey try survive the Naija wetin e fit turn tomorrow.
