2027: “I Will Work Against Atiku Again”
We are asking Nigerians what’s next? A trending statement that’s already causing political tremors, former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, has declared his unwavering stance: “I will work against Atiku again in 2027.” With Nigeria still reeling and trying to survive from the high-stakes drama of the 2023 elections, Fayose’s bombshell has ignited new flames in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Nigeria as a whole.
This bold pronouncement, made during an explosive interview, has reawakened questions about the PDP’s future, its internal divisions, and whether Atiku Abubakar, the political veteran, still has the firepower to make another presidential run in 2027.
The reason for this question is very clear because Atiku Abubakar has been a runner in the political game, AKA customer to running for the presidential seat
Why is Fayose Still Fighting Atiku?
According to Fayose, his issue with Atiku isn’t personal, it’s about “principles and failed promises.” He insists Atiku has failed the South and sees no reason to back him again, which atiku has no response to yet
In Fayose’s words:
“Atiku has shown, time and again, that he’s not the man for the job. In 2023, I stood on my conviction. In 2027, I will not only oppose him – I will campaign against him.”
as words have it that Fayose is a strong ally to Atiku,
what’s next for Atiku Abubakar?
Is this already another failed run? This isn’t just another political jab. It’s a direct challenge to the assumed PDP structure, and a sign that the South West bloc might once again withhold full support for Atiku a dangerous repeat of history for the PDP.
A Fractured PARTY: Is 2027 Already Lost for PDP?
Fayose’s comments add FIRE to speculation that PDP may enter 2027 weaker than ever, fractured by unresolved zoning debates, bitter power struggles, and a widening trust deficit.
Let’s not forget: Fayose isn’t just any political figure. He’s known for calling things as he sees them, a political grenade in human form. His comments usually predict internal chaos… and he’s rarely wrong. BUT from our own point of view, why has he not called out the current ruling party leader, Mr. T-PAIN as a political grenade in human form we know him for.
well, we believe all this is political noise or initials, as we don’t know what’s next for nigeria
With this fresh vow of resistance, Fayose seems to be throwing down the gauntlet: If Atiku is PDP’s 2027 candidate, the opposition might already be splintering from within.
What Does This Mean for the APC and Peter Obi?
This unexpected political twist could hand a major strategic advantage to the All Progressives Congress (APC) especially if they unify behind a youthful or more widely accepted candidate. The drama could also benefit Peter Obi, if Labour Party manages to maintain momentum and rebrand for 2027.
If PDP enters the ring internally bruised and with regional backlash once again, Obi could split their votes even further, giving APC the perfect opening for another clean win.
Nigerians React: Support or Sabotage?
On social media platforms, Nigerians are split into several parts.
Some praise Fayose’s “bravery” for speaking up against a political giant, while others accuse him of sabotaging the only party that could realistically challenge the APC in 2027.
“Fayose is the PDP’s worst enemy in disguise,” one user posted.
Another commented, “He’s saying what most people are afraid to say. Atiku’s time is over.”
With the clock ticking toward another tense election season, this war of words might just be the opening act for a deeper, dirtier political drama.
in conclusion
Love him or hate him, Ayo Fayose has just shaken the table again, and we can’t beat him. His vow to fight Atiku in 2027 could change the entire political arrangement, splinter party alliances, and open new doors for unexpected contenders.
Will the PDP survive this new rift? Will Atiku run again despite the mounting resistance? And will Fayose’s political grenade explode into something much bigger?
it will all be clear when the time is right. Only time and 2027 will tell.
