A prominent member of the African Democratic Congress, Dele Momodu, has described former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the most experienced politician in the country. Momodu made this statement on social media in response to a user’s claim that Atiku’s potential candidacy for the party’s presidential ticket in 2027 would lead to failure.

The user, @Mikeodinaka12, expressed skepticism about Atiku’s ability to succeed, citing his past attempts at running for office. However, Momodu countered this sentiment by highlighting Atiku’s extensive experience in politics. He drew parallels with other notable figures, such as former US President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden, who have also faced challenges in their careers.

Momodu noted that Atiku’s perseverance and determination are qualities that inspire him, and he believes that only time will tell what the future holds for the former vice president. He also mentioned that President Muhammadu Buhari and Joe Biden have both experienced unexpected successes in their careers, suggesting that Atiku’s chances should not be underestimated.

Atiku Abubakar has a long history in Nigerian politics, having served as vice president from 1999 to 2007. He has also made several attempts to run for the presidency, including in the 2019 election. The African Democratic Congress is one of the major political parties in Nigeria, and Atiku’s potential candidacy could significantly impact the party’s chances in the 2027 election.

The discussion around Atiku’s candidacy highlights the complexities of Nigerian politics, where experience and perseverance are highly valued. As the country prepares for its next election, the role of experienced politicians like Atiku Abubakar will be closely watched. With the election still several years away, it remains to be seen how the political landscape will evolve and which candidates will emerge as front-runners.
