2027: Atiku Approves National Campaign Council
Atiku said the council will focus on cost of living, unemployment and insecurity as it builds policy proposals and campaign operations.
- On Thursday, African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar unveiled his Presidential Campaign Council, appointing Kashim Ibrahim-Imam as chair with Nasir El-Rufai as Deputy Chairman.
- Atiku has contested Nigeria's presidential elections multiple times, starting with 2007 after serving as vice-president under President Olusegun Obasanjo. He previously sought party nominations in 1993, 2011, and 2015 without success.
- Senator Austin Akobundu will serve as Director-General and Campaign Manager, overseeing six deputy director-generals and 30 other directors focused on addressing unemployment and cost of living. This structure emphasizes accountability for results.
- Media strategy will be led by publisher Dele Momodu as head of communications, while former senator Dino Melaye will lead the contact and mobilisation team. Both roles focus on developing practical policy proposals.
- The 2027 race marks Atiku's final contest, as he announced earlier this year. According to senior special assistant Phrank Shaibu, success will be measured by the council's ability to make Nigeria affordable again.
