Atiku submits ADC presidential nomination forms

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has submitted his expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

 

Atiku announced the development in a post shared on his X handle on Thursday, describing his presidential ambition as part of a broader national movement aimed at rebuilding the country.

 

“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 wrote.

 

“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 also appealed to Nigerians across ethnic, religious, and regional lines to support his bid ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

“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,” he added.

 

A video accompanying the post showed a large crowd of supporters and party loyalists at the ADC national secretariat in Abuja ahead of Atiku’s arrival.
