2027: Atiku’s Ethnic and Religious Appeal Won’t Work in the North, Says Iliyasu Kwankwaso

APC chieftain Dr Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso says Atiku Abubakar cannot rely on ethnic and religious sentiment to win northern Nigerian support in the 2027 presidential election. He argues that voters are increasingly focused on leaders’ performance, development and living conditions, and that Atiku lacks the influence and acceptance once enjoyed by the late President Muhammadu Buhari. Kwankwaso also questions Atiku’s record during his eight years as vice president and says Bola Ahmed Tinubu will remain a strong contender in the North.
