Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate for 2023, declared that he will continue to run for office as long as he remains in good health.

Speaking in an interview with the Hausa service of the Voice of America in Abuja, the former Vice President, who will be 81 during the next presidential election in 2027, has already contested for the presidency six times.

Despite not winning in his previous attempts, Atiku finds solace in the example of former US President Abraham Lincoln, who also faced initial defeat.

He emphasized the need for unity within the PDP and forming alliances with other political groups to secure victory in the upcoming 2027 election.

Asked if he will contest again, Atiku said: “Of course, I will keep contesting again and again as long as I am alive and healthy.

“Even the former US President Abraham Lincoln contested seven times before finally winning.

“However, given the current state of the PDP, it is clear that a single-handed effort will not suffice to win the election. Strong support and collaboration with other parties are required.”
