We'll Be On The Ballot, No Court Manoeuvre Will Make Me Abandon You, Atiku Tells Supporters

Atiku says court manoeuvres and political pressure will not stop Nigerians from choosing their next president, and accuses the Tinubu government of trying to weaken the opposition.

  • On Friday, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar confirmed he remains the presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress for the 2027 general elections, insisting no court manoeuvre would stop him from appearing on the ballot.
  • Justice Peter Lifu's ruling sacked the Senator David Mark-led ADC executives, invalidating party actions including Atiku's nomination and prompting the candidate to warn that legal challenges cannot replace the will of Nigerians.
  • Atiku accused President Bola Tinubu of deploying political pressure, courtroom manoeuvres, and AI-generated photographs to manipulate the voters' register, challenging the ruling party to face the opposition in a free and fair contest.
  • Criticizing the administration's economic record, Atiku noted those boasting of 32 governors should not fear competition, claiming fuel subsidy removal and the naira's decline have worsened families' daily struggles.
  • Declaring that "Bola cannot use the courts to escape the judgment of Nigerians at the ballot box," Atiku urged supporters to remain united and resolute in reclaiming their democracy.
