Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has submitted his presidential nomination forms at the national secretariat of the African Democratic Congress in Abuja ahead of the 2027 general election.
Atiku disclosed this in a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, describing his presidential bid as part of a broader movement aimed at rebuilding the country.
“The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the national secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress,” he wrote.
The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party said his ambition transcends politics and is focused on national renewal and hope.
“This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair,” he stated.
The former presidential candidate also called on Nigerians across ethnic, religious and regional divides to support the movement.
“I call on all Nigerians, regardless of region, faith, or background, to join us in this noble cause. Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again,” he added.
