African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar says nothing will stop him from contesting and winning the 2027 election. Speaking in an interview with Jaji TV Hausa, he presents himself as fit and energetic, framing his political effort as a continuing commitment to the 2027 race.
Atiku likens his journey to that of former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, saying he has faced repeated setbacks before achieving major office. He recalls that he contested presidential and governorship elections several times, and that in Adamawa State he ran for governorship four times before military regimes annulled those processes, succeeding on a fifth attempt. He draws a parallel between his own repeated electoral trials and Lincoln’s losses prior to becoming president.
Both outlets report the same core claims: Atiku’s vow of determination for 2027, his comparison to Lincoln, and his recounting of past contests and annulments under military rule. The coverage mainly differs in emphasis on general election history versus the specific Adamawa governorship record.
