Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied reports claiming that he intends to step down for another presidential aspirant ahead of the 2027 general elections. Reports earlier suggested that Atiku vowed he would step aside from the 2027 presidential contest if a younger aspirant defeated him to secure the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ticket. The Wazirin Adamawa reportedly made this known during an interview with the BBC. However, in a statement released on Thursday by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku described the reports as a deliberate misrepresentation of his recent interview with the BBC Hausa Service. For the record, therefore, the insinuations attributed to Waziri Adamawa from his BBC Hausa interview are inaccurate and do not reflect what he actually said,” he added.
