2027: Analyst reacts as Tambuwal endorses Atiku over Wike
Legit.ng reported that former governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Tambuwal, had, in a trending interview, stated that he would support Atiku Abubakar over Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), if it came down to a choice over the future of Nigeria.
Amid the debate about the 2027 elections, Akinniyi, in an interview with Legit.ng on Sunday, September 7, highlighted that Atiku, despite being a northerner, his "vision transcends ethnicity, faith, or geography."
Buttressing his point, Akinniyi asserted that Tambuwal's endorsement reflect a genuine belief in Atiku's capabilities rather than personal bias.
"There is no better candidate or politician is experienced like former vice president Atiku Abubakar. To say he is the best option is even an understatement. The business of governance seems to be what he knows best and you can see the quality in-depth knowledge he has thrown into his campaign manifestos.
"Atiku Abubakar is not just a northern candidate; he is a Nigerian statesman whose vision transcends ethnicity, faith, or geography. He has stood the test of time, weathered the storms of politics, and proven himself as a leader with both the pedigree and the plan to rescue Nigeria from its deepening crisis."
Speaking further, the analyst emphasised on Tambuwal's credentials as a two-time governor of Sokoto state and a current senator, noting that his endorsement underscores the merit inherent in Atiku's candidacy.
Akinniyi told Legit.ng that:
"Aminu Tambuwal is a two-time governor of Sokoto state, also a speaker of the House of Representatives, and currently a Senator. These positions are windows to engaging issues at the national level, and for him to endorse Atiku Abubakar without any personal bias, it's a pointer to what is inherent in the person of Atiku."
"His economic vision—rooted in restructuring, diversification, and private-sector-driven growth—remains the most coherent and pragmatic blueprint for lifting Nigeria out of poverty and despair.While others promise slogans, Atiku offers solutions."

2027 election: Atiku is a strong contender - Akinniyi
Continuing, Dare Glintstone Akinniyi maintained that Atiku's commitment to Nigeria's unity, has reinforced his position as the ideal candidate for the presidency in 2027.
Akinniyi reiterated his support for Tambuwal's praise of Atiku, stating that Atiku is undoubtedly the strongest contender for Nigeria's top position in 2027.
The analyst said:
"While others pander to sectional sentiments, Atiku speaks the language of national unity. He understands that Nigeria cannot survive on propaganda or cosmetic reforms.
"Atiku Abubakar remains the best candidate for Nigeria's number one seat come 2027. This is not just a statement of fact, it is known and you can see the incumbent Government copying his policies on Federalism and deregulation of the oil sector. I am wholly in support of Tambuwal's submission on Atiku."
Meanwhile, Tambuwal, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, is one of the key opposition leaders promoting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.
