Former spokesman for the presidential campaign of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Segun Sowunmi, disclosed that he has asked Atiku Abubakar about his plans for 2027 presidential election.
Sowunmi said, “Atiku Abubakar is one man I love with my bones. The heart will decay quickly but the bone is the last thing that will decay.
“I have asked him twice, ‘are you running? Are you done? If you are running, what do we do with this structure? If you’re not done we have to do something different.”
“He was quiet, he was still in a reflective mood. He’s not said ‘no’, he’s not said ‘yes’ and I respect that.”
He added, “Any sensible person should know that the burden of election is heavy. No human being that has had the kind of experience, challenges and even the kind of betrayal Atiku has endured should not reflect deeply before saying ‘I’m going to run’.
“I don’t do guess work. I’ve asked him twice, he didn’t answer. When he answers, whatever answer he gives, we’ll take it to the next level.”
It is believed that Atiku Abubakar is preparing for the presidency. Recall, he ran for the President of Nigeria, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and in 2023.
