2027: Atiku Courts Yoruba Voters, Vows South-West Will Shape Policies

As Nigeria gears up for the 2027 general elections, former Vice President and presidential hopeful, Atiku Abubakar, is intensifying efforts to woo voters in the South-West region, particularly among the Yoruba people.

Atiku has pledged that the South-West will play a central role in shaping his administration’s policies if elected. In recent campaigns across key Yoruba states, he emphasized inclusivity, promising equitable representation and development tailored to the region’s unique needs.

Speaking at various town hall meetings and stakeholder engagements, Atiku highlighted the importance of integrating the South-West’s aspirations into the national agenda, aiming to restore confidence among Yoruba voters who have expressed concerns over marginalization.

Political analysts suggest that Atiku’s focus on the South-West is a strategic move to broaden his support base beyond his traditional strongholds in the North and Northeast, signaling a shift towards national unity and cooperation ahead of the elections.
