Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has publicly called on President Bola Tinubu to begin preparing handover notes, effectively predicting a loss in the 2027 presidential election. This demand comes amidst ongoing economic difficulties, specifically referencing the fuel and transportation crises currently facing Nigeria. Atiku’s statement, released through his Senior Special Assistant, suggests a lack of confidence in Tinubu’s ability to address the nation’s challenges. The ultimatum represents a significant political challenge to Tinubu’s administration relatively early in his term. While details of Atiku’s reasoning were limited in the report, the timing links his call to the current economic hardships. The move signals Atiku’s intention to actively contest the next presidential election and potentially capitalize on public discontent.
