2027 Elections: Sule Lamido Warns of APC’s Advantage Due to Atiku and Obi’s Separate Presidential Bids

In a series of interviews, former Jigawa governor Sule Lamido has raised concerns about the impact of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi’s separate presidential bids on the 2027 elections. According to Channels Television, Lamido, a critic of the ruling APC, stated that whichever candidate wins the election, Nigeria will lose. The concern stems from the fact that Atiku and Obi’s divided support could potentially hand an easy victory to the APC. The warning comes as both Atiku, a former vice president, and Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, have declared their intentions to contest the presidency in 2027. While their respective camps have expressed optimism about their chances, Lamido’s remarks highlight the potential challenges they may face in consolidating their support base. As the race heats up, it remains to be seen how the two candidates will navigate the complex political landscape to present a united front against the APC.
