Ayodele Fayose, former Governor of Ekiti State, has advised former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to cease contesting elections in the country.
It should be recalled that Atiku unsuccessfully ran for President of Nigeria in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023, including three losses in primaries.
His body language and the people surrounding him suggest that he may run again for president in 2027.

The 77-year-old, in an interview with Voice of America Hausa earlier this year said “God willing”, when asked whether he would try again.
”I am sure at this stage with all due respect to him, he would rather want to stay away from politics of contesting elections again,” Fayose said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics while speaking on the crisis in the PDP.
”By the time Asiwaju(Bola Tinubu) will finish, Atiku Abubakar will probably be 80 or 81 so what will be the attraction?
“We should leave the stage when the ovation is loudest, I respect him and I think Nigerians are craving for a younger generation than ever before so on what basis will Atiku come and contest again,” he said.
