‘After 2027, He Should Rest’ – Deji Adeyanju Tells Atiku

Lawyer and sociopolitical commentator Deji Adeyanju has described the 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as “arrogant”, stating that this trait has been the former Vice President’s political albatross.

Adeyanju made the remarks in a Facebook post on Friday. He also enjoined Atiku, who would be 80 years old in 2027, to quit running for the presidency should he fail to win in next year’s election.

“Atiku’s main undoing in politics is his arrogance. Arrogance is too much. The mallam that told him he will be president may be the reason for the excess arrogance. After 2027, if he doesn’t win, he should rest,” Adeyanju said.

Adeyanju has been a strong advocate of a united opposition, warning that a fractured opposition would be soundly trounced by incumbent President Bola Tinubu.

Atiku clinched the ADC presidential ticket earlier in the week amid protest from fellow contestants Rotimi Amaechi and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen. The development came weeks after two political juggernauts, Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, quit the ADC to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
