Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar must reassess his 2027 presidential election in the wake of the defection of his former ally and Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Fintiri announced his defection in a state-wide broadcast on Friday.
The Adamawa governor said he decamped to the APC with his entire cabinet and all PDP officials in the overall interest of the state.
In a reaction on X, Onanuga said Adamawa-born Atiku must reassess his 2027 presidential ambition because “if a politician is not so popular at home, he has no business selling his candidacy to outsiders”.

The presidential aide said, “With the presidential election less than a year away, Fintiri’s defection is surely a big blow to veteran presidential runner Atiku Abubakar.
“His ADC is largely unknown in the state. He certainly needs to reassess his ambition, as his governor has turned the APC into an Adamawa juggernaut.
“If a politician is not so popular at home, he has no business selling his candidacy to outsiders.
“The time is nigh for Atiku to consider retiring from politics and going to his second home in Dubai.”
