2027: Withdraw from ADC presidential primaries – Ibrahim Abdulkarim tells Atiku

Ibrahim Abdulkarim, a political associate of fomer Anambra Governor, Peter Obi, has called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to withdraw from the presidential race ahead of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, primary, suggesting it would preserve his legacy and make way for a new political direction.

Speaking on Trust TV on Friday, Abdulkarim argued that Atiku’s long political career should be honoured with a dignified exit rather than another contest.

“Atiku will be 80 years old next year. We don’t want to defeat him. Considering his work from 1992 till this day, we know he is not going to win, so we are giving him a soft landing to withdraw from the ADC presidential primary so he can look good in the eyes of young Nigerians.”
