<p>Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has declared that the 2027 general election will be his last attempt to become Nigeria’s president.</p>
<p>The seasoned politician, who will turn 80 by the next election cycle, made the announcement during an interview on Arise News on Wednesday.</p>
<p>“Certainly yes, because the stakes are higher – I believe that will be my last outing. So that’s incontrovertible,” Atiku said when asked whether 2027 would mark his final run.</p>

<p>Pressed on why Nigerians should still trust him after decades in politics, the presidential hopeful argued that his experience uniquely qualifies him to lead the country at a critical juncture.</p>

<p>“I represent both the past and the future simply because we have seen various levels of leadership in the country, both young and old, and we’re experiencing them,” he said.</p>
<p>Atiku also voiced concerns about the performance of younger leaders, suggesting they have not fully met expectations.</p>
<p>“I still believe that our expectations of the young leadership are below what we thought,” he added, stressing the need for mentorship and guidance from older, more experienced politicians.</p>
<p>According to Atiku, such guidance is most effective when exercised from a position of power. Reflecting on his time as vice-president, he noted: “Sometimes you need to be [in power]. What I was able to learn from President Olusegun Obasanjo through his experience, I couldn’t have learned it outside.”</p>
