Former Vice President and a key figure of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, coalition, Atiku Abubakar has hinted on running for presidency in 2027.
Atiku vowed to punish anybody engaged in corruption if he is elected president.
He disclosed this while addressing a group of people in Hausa language.
In a video on X, Atiku could be heard saying: “I swear to God, if elected, whoever steals or engages in any corruption-related activities, we will declare war against them and they must be punished”
Atiku, who lost in the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, is believed to have moved with his newly formed coalition to the ADC.
Though Atiku is yet to officially announce his defection from PDP to ADC, he has been a key figure in the opposition coalition.
A few days ago, the coalition announced its Interim National Chairman, David Mark, and Interim National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, among other key officers.
