What Next After Supreme Court Delivers Final Blow To Atiku’s 30-Year Presidential Ambition....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
For former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a three-decade-long journey ended in disappointment as the Supreme Court ruled against his appeal, marking his sixth unsuccessful attempt at the presidency. The court upheld President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 election.
Atiku, 77, who had been a perennial candidate and a former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) nominee, faced defeat not only at the ballot box but also in the court of law, leaving his presidential ambitions in limbo.

The PDP, which has been in the opposition since 2015, had its own share of challenges and internal divisions. Atiku’s candidacy in the 2023 election was a point of contention within the party, as he represented a different approach to power dynamics and zoning traditions.
His campaign was marked by controversy and divisions within the party, and Atiku’s inability to unite various factions eventually contributed to his downfall. The G-5 governors and other key party figures turned against him, perceiving him as an obstacle to the party’s future.
Despite Atiku’s strong determination and political acumen, his campaign strategy failed as he seemed to rely on social media sentiment, armchair critics, and public opinion, rather than practical political ground game.
Throughout his political career from 1991 to 2023, Atiku’s quest for the presidency remained unwavering, even in the face of repeated setbacks and challenges. His political journey was marked by defections, changes in political alliances, and attempts to navigate Nigeria’s complex political landscape.
Now, as he faces this latest defeat, the question remains: What’s next for Atiku? Will he return to the drawing board, take on the role of an effective opposition leader, or perhaps sponsor another candidate in the future? The PDP, too, is at a crossroads, and Atiku’s leadership may play a pivotal role in the party’s resurgence or decline.
