No-vacancy comments: ACF, Atiku, others mock Presidency over 2027 election

The Arewa Consultative Forum and former PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar have criticized the Presidency over comments about the 2027 general election, labeling them as "no-vacancy" remarks. The comment sparked a lighthearted but stern response from opposition stakeholders.

The Arewa Consultative Forum and former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar have collectively criticized the Presidency for its comment about a no-vacancy rule in the 2027 presidential election. The group of stakeholders has taken aim at President Bola Tinubu, who made the statement regarding the potential for no vacancies to be filled in the election. This move is seen as an attempt to limit political participation and has drawn strong opposition from those within the party and beyond. The comment has sparked significant outrage among some quarters, with Atiku Abubakar labeling it a " threat" to democracy.
