Atiku Submits ADC Nomination Forms, Says His Ambition Transcends Politics

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has submitted his presidential nomination forms ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Atiku submitted the forms yesterday at the party’s National Secretariat as part of preparations for the presidential race.

The former Vice President disclosed the development in a post on his X handle, where he called on Nigerians across the country to join his movement aimed at restoring prosperity and national stability.

“The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the national secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress,” he wrote.

“I call on all Nigerians, regardless of region, faith, or background, to join us in this noble cause. Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again.”

Atiku said his presidential ambition goes beyond partisan politics, describing it as a broader national movement focused on renewal and hope for Nigerians.

“This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair,” he stated.

The submission of the nomination forms signals Atiku’s formal entry into the contest for the ADC presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general election.

Atiku, who previously served as Nigeria’s Vice President, remains one of the country’s most prominent opposition figures and has contested the presidency multiple times.
