Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has pledged to support whoever emerges as the party’s presidential candidate of the Africa Deployment Congress, ADC for 2027 presidential election.
Atiku told DW Hausa in an interview dismissing claims that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, could undermine the ADC, noting that the party has continued to attract members nationwide.
He said: “We will support and endorse whoever emerges as the flagbearer. How many are we (presidential aspirants), three or four? In the PDP, more than ten of us contested.
“The youths have taken over the party. Most of those seeking elective positions, from councillor to State Assembly, National Assembly and House of Representatives, are young people. We have always said our party belongs to youths and women. Our role is to create the opportunity and hand it over to them.”
Asked if he would back a youth as presidential candidate if ADC presents one, Atiku said, “Yes, why not,”
“Allah has done everything for me. I have brought my sons and grandchildren home. What will be their future and that of their children?” he said
