A key member of the opposition coalition African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has given a condition to step aside for a younger presidential candidate in 2027.
Atiku expressed willingness to abandon his presidential ambition for a younger, vibrant and acceptable candidate under the ADC.
The former Vice President disclosed this in an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday.
Atiku noted that his interest in the 2027 race is not about personal ambition, but about providing a credible alternative to rescue Nigerians.
The former VP charged younger Nigerians to actively participate in politics, stressing that he would fully back them if picked to contest for the presidency.
Atiku denied claims that he was desperate for the seat of the president declaring that he was only interested in rescuing Nigeria from the people that have 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.
