NNRM PRESS CONFERENCE: ATIKU ABUBAKAR AND PETER OBI PROPOSED FOR 2027 PRESIDENCY

COALITION CALL: NNRM ADVOCATES FOR ATIKU ABUBAKAR AND PETER OBI AS PRESIDENTIAL AND VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

In a press conference held today, July 16, 2025, Hon. Edede Franklyen, representing the Nigeria National Rescue Movement (NNRM), emphasized the critical need for a coalition between the ADC and other relevant parties to field His Excellency Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate and Peter Obi as the vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The NNRM believes that an Atiku Abubakar presidency is the only way to break the cycle of ineffective governance that has plagued Nigeria under the current administration. According to Hon. Edede Franklyen, the country needs a strong, capable, and experienced leader like Atiku Abubakar to steer the nation towards a brighter future. Peter Obi's inclusion as vice-presidential candidate would bring a much-needed youthful perspective and dynamism to the ticket.

The call for a coalition comes amid growing concerns over the performance of the current government and the perceived lack of direction in the country. The NNRM is convinced that Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi would bring a fresh wave of leadership and innovation to the country's governance.

The proposed coalition would likely face challenges, but the NNRM believes that the potential benefits far outweigh the risks. With Atiku Abubakar's experience and Peter Obi's dynamism, the duo could bring about the much-needed change that Nigerians are clamoring for. The NNRM is urging all stakeholders to come together and support this initiative for the betterment of the country.

As the 2027 presidential election draws closer, the NNRM's proposal is likely to generate intense debate and discussion. While some may view the coalition as a viable option, others may see it as a mere pipe dream. Nevertheless, the NNRM remains committed to its cause and is determined to push the agenda for an Atiku Abubakar presidency.

The fate of Nigeria's future hangs in the balance, and the NNRM believes that Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi are the right leaders to take the country forward. As the country navigates the complexities of politics, one thing is certain: the 2027 presidential election will be a crucial turning point in Nigeria's history.
