Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has again been advised to shelve his ambition and withdraw from the 2027 presidential race in deference to the existing convention on power rotation between north and south.

A founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, made the call in Enugu, reiterating his earlier stance that Atiku has no business joining the presidential race since the presidency currently resides in the south.

Atiku, pursuant to his long-standing ambition to become Nigeria’s president, has picked the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress(ADC) to slug it out with President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
