Atiku Abubakar, the newly chosen presidential flagbearer for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the upcoming 2027 elections, has urged restraint among supporters, emphasizing that the victory is not yet complete. In a statement shared on his social media platform, the former Vice President called for unity and collective effort to challenge the current administration.
Addressing the party’s internal contests, Atiku stressed that no one lost because the ADC remains a unified front. He highlighted the critical need to recognize the serious challenges facing the nation. “This is not a moment for celebration; we must join forces to rescue our country from the damaging effects of corruption, incompetence, and division caused by the APC government,” he posted on X.
Atiku commended the ADC’s primary election committee for conducting peaceful, transparent, and fair primaries across the country. He thanked party leadership, stakeholders, volunteers, and members for their dedication and patience throughout the process. “With the primaries behind us, the real work begins now. We need to campaign vigorously to win the general election and start the difficult task of rescuing Nigeria and its suffering citizens from this government,” he added.
