A brewing political tsunami is currently building ahead of the 2027 general election as former vice president Atiku Abubakar and former governor of Adamawa Admiral Murtala Nyako begun talks that is expected to coalesce into a formidable structure come 2027 general polls.
Sources close to the meeting told our reporter that with the commitments extracted from each side and the influence of the two political gladiators, Nigeria and Adamawa politics will record seismic changes ahead of the 2027 general polls.
The source added that with the massive goodwill and unprecedented support enjoyed by the two prominent politicians, it is expected that any candidate they supported in the next governorship election in Adamawa will have an easy sail while the success of the candidate is assured.
“The last general election was basically between Nyako who supported the APC candidate Aishatu Binani and Atiku who threw his weight behind the incumbent governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State.
“The two political gladiators were able to cumulatively pull close to 700,000 votes. So if these two political giants come together to support one candidate, no force on earth could trounce that candidate,” the source added.
Another source close to the meeting which took place at the Abuja residence of former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako noted that disturbed by the current economic turmoil, social insecurity, poverty and unprecedented hunger ravaging the country especially the North, the two political gladiators decided to forget their differences and forge a new front and pull strength together to chart a paradigm shift for the country in order to prevent it from sinking under.
“The two politicians decided to form this patriot pact in order to save Nigeria from sinking under. You don’t need to be told that Nigeria is currently is on the brink of total precipice occasioned by the unfriendly and highly insensitive policies of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu led federal government.
“Nyako is one Nigerian with vast national and international connections who has paid his dues as a retired general, a former military and civilian governor and an astute statesman. He command tremendous respect in the military and civilian circles. He is one of the critical arrowheads behind the formation of APC who worked tirelessly to ensure the victory of the party both at the federal level and Adamawa State in 2015 general election.
“So anyone he backs at the presidential election will surely record considerable electoral milestones. The same thing will happen in Adamawa State politics. So with the coming together of these forces, the 2027 general election will be very interesting,” the source disclosed.
When asked whether the issue of the 2027 general election was discussed between the two politicians considering the fact that Atiku Abubakar is an interested party, our source said, the issue of the 2027 general election is not on the card adding that “the immediate concern of these two political giants is how to chart a new course for Nigerians who are going through record hardship and save Nigeria from going adrift.
“Anything can happen along the line. Just like I enumerated the strength of Nyako, Atiku is also not a pushover and with the new alliances an permutations current shaping ahead of 2027 anything can happen. But I want to assure you that these two statesmen will take the best decision in the interest of Nigeria and Adamawa State,” our source said.
