    Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says he is willing to drop his 2027 presidential ambition if a younger, vibrant, and widely accepted candidate emerges under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
    Speaking to BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday, Atiku stressed that his interest in the 2027 race is not driven by personal ambition but by the need to offer Nigerians a credible alternative.
    He urged young Nigerians to take active roles in politics, pledging full support for any younger aspirant capable of uniting the opposition and winning public trust.
    “My being in the 2027 race does not prevent anyone from contesting. If a vibrant and widely accepted younger candidate emerges, I am willing to step aside,” Atiku said, dismissing claims that he is desperate for power.
