Nigerian businessman and internet personality, Isaac Fayose, has criticised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his plan to contest in the 2027 presidential election, describing the move as āselfishā and ill-timed.
Fayoseās reaction follows Atikuās recent remark on Arise TV on Wednesday that the 2027 general election could be his final opportunity to become Nigeria president.
Reacting Fayose questioned Atikuās decision to consider another run, arguing that it disregards the prevailing political sentiment on power rotation.
āSo Atiku wan come back to do what? To contest another time? That shows he is a very selfish man and a selfish leader,ā Fayose said.
āHow can Atiku be thinking of coming back? Where is the energy? Over 70 percent of Nigerians are below 50 or 60. What is going on? This is selfishness,ā he added.
āYou contesting again, you don try, try. Even the president Tinubu don try to make you president, you failed sir. It is southern time, allow us to have our eight years. That is being selfish.
āIt is southern time. Allow us to have our eight years. That is fairness,ā he stated.
āAtiku coming back to be on the ballot means he is working for Tinubu,ā Fayose alleged.
āBecause Atiku son already is with Tinubu. Why will Atiku want to come back when we still have four years South?ā He said.
