Former media aide to the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has opined that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, is the best choice to emerge as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) flagbearer ahead of the party’s presidential primary.
NewsWatch Nigeria reports that the ADC presidential primary is scheduled to hold today, Monday.
In a post via her 𝕏 handle, Onochie claimed that few Nigerian politicians match Atiku’s pedigree, stressing that the former presidential candidate can give ADC the strongest opportunity to win the 2027 presidential election and govern Nigeria.
Onochie emphasised that if ADC aspires to make history, its members should ensure that Atiku emerges as the party’s candidate.
She said, “Politics is not an award for effort, it is not about sentiments. It is a test of preparedness, capacity, national reach and the ability to win power and govern effectively.
“As ADC prepares for its 2027 Presidential Primary, members must ask one question above all else: Who gives ADC the strongest opportunity to win Nigeria and govern successfully? For many party faithful, the answer is clear: HE. Atiku Abubakar.
“Atiku brings to the table what very few politicians in Nigeria can legitimately claim, experience, national acceptance, coalition-building capacity, economic understanding and political resilience.
“If ADC desires not simply to make history but to win history, then members must choose a candidate with national scale, tested endurance and the capacity to convert aspiration into government.
“The Primary is the contest. The General Election is the mission. The Presidency is the destination.”
