The Presidency has launched a fierce attack on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, accusing him of undermining Nigeria’s sovereignty through reported lobbying efforts in the United States. In a statement, the administration framed Atiku’s actions as a ‘desperate bid to rewrite settled history’ and an assault on the nation’s independence.
The escalation marks a significant shift in the political battle for the 2027 presidential election. Atiku, a perennial candidate, is reportedly seeking US support to challenge President Tinubu’s legitimacy. The Presidency’s response suggests a no-holds-barred approach to defending its position.
Political analysts warn that this confrontation could strain US-Nigeria relations and further polarize the Nigerian electorate. The controversy also highlights the increasing role of international lobbying in Nigeria’s domestic politics.
As both camps dig in, the 2027 succession war is heating up, with sovereignty and history becoming central themes of the campaign.
