Multiple outlets report campaign positioning for Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, including statements from Atiku’s son supporting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election and APC figures predicting Atiku will lose even in Adamawa.
Daily Post Nigeria and Vanguard describe Abba Atiku Abubakar—identified as a commissioner in Adamawa—ditching his father’s bid and laying out plans to deliver Adamawa to Tinubu in 2027, with Vanguard adding that his group is preparing major mobilisation activities in Rivers in early November. Legit.ng highlights a separate element of Tinubu’s camp, saying Tinubu’s daughter launches a grassroots movement targeting 10 million votes for the APC and her father.
Other stories focus on APC confidence that Tinubu will outperform Atiku in Adamawa and parts of the North-East. Nigerian Eye and Vanguard both feature APC Deputy National Chairman Ali Bukar Dalori, who says Atiku cannot win even at his polling unit, and links the prediction to grassroots support and government projects such as road initiatives, along with references to Tinubu’s policy record. Coverage generally agrees on the key actors—Tinubu, Atiku, and Dalori—and the geographic battleground of Adamawa/North-East.
