Nigeria’s former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, now with the African Democratic Congress and aligned with Peter Obi, has pledged unwavering faithfulness to voters and citizens if elected in 2027, invoking divine intervention to bar him from power otherwise.
The 78-year-old shared the statement in a social media video amid economic hardships like high inflation and insecurity, while denying rumors of stepping down. Reactions on X range from supporters praising his commitment to critics questioning his past record and repeated electoral losses.
“If I will become president and I will not be faithful to those that voted for me and Nigerians, may Allah not make it possible for me to be President”
