Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially obtained the nomination and expression of interest forms of the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Atiku picked the forms on Thursday at the ADC National Secretariat in Abuja, where he was received by a large crowd of supporters and party loyalists.
The former presidential candidate described the move as a crucial step toward what he called the restoration of prosperity and hope in Nigeria. According to him, his decision to contest on the platform of the ADC goes beyond politics and represents a collective mission to rescue the country from its current challenges.
Speaking after obtaining the forms, Atiku called on Nigerians across all regions and religious backgrounds to support the movement for national renewal.
“The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the National Secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress,” he said.
“This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair.”
The former Vice President further urged citizens to unite behind the vision of rebuilding the country and returning it to a path of progress and stability.
“I call on all Nigerians, regardless of region, faith, or background, to join us in this noble cause. Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again,” Atiku added.
The development officially signals Atiku’s entry into the 2027 presidential race under the ADC platform after years of contesting elections under the Peoples Democratic Party.
