Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election has revealed that he would continue to contest for presidency as long as he is healthy.
The former Vice-President of Nigeria stated this during an interview on Hausa service of the Voice of America (VOA) in Abuja.
Abubakar, 77, will be 81 by the next presidential election which is in 2027. During the interview, Atiku said;
“Of course, I will keep contesting again and again as long as I am alive and healthy”
The politician has run for the number one office six times but has been on the ballot as a presidential candidate on three occasions — 2007, 2019, and 2023.
“Even the former US President Abraham Lincoln contested seven times before finally winning. However, given the current state of the PDP, it is clear that a single-handed effort will not suffice to win the election. Strong support and collaboration with other parties are required,” he said.
