Former Vice President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has officially declared his intention to contest in the 2027 presidential election, emphasizing the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from what he described as an “intensive care unit” of governance.
In a statement issued over the weekend, Atiku expressed deep concern about the current state of the nation, highlighting economic stagnation, rising insecurity, and institutional inefficiencies as pressing challenges confronting the country. He stressed that decisive leadership and pragmatic policies are needed to restore Nigeria to a path of stability and prosperity.
“I will run in 2027. Nigeria needs to be decisively rescued from the intensive care unit it has been consigned,” Atiku said, underlining his commitment to providing a government focused on tangible results for citizens rather than partisan interests.
Political analysts note that Atiku’s declaration marks an early start to the 2027 electoral campaigns and signals renewed competition among leading political figures. Supporters of the former vice president have welcomed the announcement, citing his previous experience in governance and familiarity with national and international economic frameworks as key assets for steering the country toward recovery.
Atiku has previously emphasized inclusive governance, wealth creation, and anti-corruption initiatives as cornerstones of his political agenda. Observers suggest that his early entry into the race could help consolidate support within the PDP and among other stakeholders seeking a credible alternative to current leadership.
While the political landscape remains fluid, Atiku’s announcement is likely to intensify debates over Nigeria’s economic management, security challenges, and the need for strategic reforms ahead of the 2027 elections.
The former vice president has indicated that further policy outlines and campaign strategies will be unveiled in the coming months, with a focus on addressing unemployment, energy deficits, and infrastructure development, as part of a comprehensive plan to reposition Nigeria both regionally and globally.
