Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar says he is not desperate to become Nigeria’s president in 2027.
He also relayed that his focus is on securing a better, safer, and more prosperous nation.
Arise News reports that Abubakar, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, spoke through a representative on Saturday, at a ceremony to welcome defectors into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The event, which held in Lagos, was graced by prominent figures from the PDP and Labour Party (LP) who were formalising their move to the ADC.
Represented by Ola Olateju, a professor at the Achievers University in Ondo, Abubakar said his political journey is not about personal ambition but about building a government that delivers for the people.
“Atiku Abubakar’s plan is to build a better Nigeria. It’s not about him being president. It’s about having a good government that can deliver for Nigerians,” he said.
“It’s not a personal thing for him, and that’s why some of us are with him. It’s not about Atiku having to be president at all costs.
