2027: “Just like Trump, Atiku will become president”

The 2027 Nigerian presidential election is already generating buzz, with notable figures like Ebonyi Prophet, His Holiness Spirit Emmanuel Chukwudi, making predictions. Chukwudi, known for his accurate prophecies, including Donald Trump's victory, has now prophesied that Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President of Nigeria, will become the country's president in 2027.

However, not everyone shares Chukwudi's optimism about Atiku's chances. Some critics argue that Atiku's sixth attempt at the presidency in 2023 was unsuccessful due to his own political naivety and lack of self-awareness ². Atiku's decision to run again in 2027, at the age of 80, has raised concerns about his age and health.

Despite his experience and grasp of policy, Atiku faces significant challenges in his bid for the presidency. These include:

Atiku's party, the PDP, is divided, which historically has been a major obstacle to winning elections. Atiku lacks the unalloyed loyalty of his party's leaders and members, particularly in the North.Ethnic and Religious.Atiku's northern candidature may not garner sufficient support from the South, and his playing of the ethnic card may backfire.Age and Health Concerns_: Atiku's age and health will likely be a concern for many Nigerians.

While Atiku faces significant challenges, he also has some strengths that make him a viable candidate:

Atiku has a deep understanding of policy and has contributed significantly to Nigeria's democratic development.Atiku's manifestos have shown great analysis and thoughtfulness, particularly on economic and political reforms .Atiku's experience as Vice President and his multiple attempts at the presidency have given him valuable insight into the country's politics.

While Chukwudi's prophecy has generated interest, Atiku's path to the presidency in 2027 remains uncertain. His strengths, particularly in policy and experience, will be crucial in overcoming the challenges he faces. However, his age, health, and the divisions within his party may ultimately hinder his chances. Only time will tell if Atiku will emerge victorious in 2027.
