The recent visit of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to Murtala Nyako, his longtime political rival, has sparked controversy and rumors about the former vice president’s intentions for the 2027 presidential election.

Nyako, a former governor of Adamawa State State, and Atiku have been on opposite sides of the political spectrum for decades. However, their recent meeting has raised eyebrows, with many speculating that Atiku is building alliances for a presidential bid.

Nigerians will go to the polls to elect a new president in the next 29 months; can the former number two citizen of Nigeria form and market a new political party to win elections in 2027?
