The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has declared that nothing can stop him from winning the 2027 election because he’s full of life and energy.

Atiku said he has contested and lost presidential and governorship elections severally, like the former United States President, Abraham Lincoln.

In an interview with Jaji TV Hausa, Atiku recalled how he contested the governorship seat in Adamawa State four times but the elections were cancelled by the military administration, only for him to win at that fifth attempt.

He said: “I am fit, healthy and full of energy, nothing can stop me. Let me tell you this, long before I ever won a governorship election, I contested four times, and each time the military regimes cancelled the process.

“It was only on my fifth attempt that I succeeded and became Vice President of Nigeria. This is nothing new in politics. How many times did Abraham Lincoln lose elections before he finally became President of the United States?”

A governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, Adedamola Adebayo, popularly known as FRYO, has endorsed Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

Adebayo, who emerged from a controversial PDP governorship primary in December 2025, announced his decision during a press conference in Osogbo on Wednesday, saying it followed extensive consultations and careful consideration of the political situation in the state.

Mr Demola Olarenwaju, the Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu’s “all is fair” comment has set the stage for extreme action ahead of the Osun State governorship election.

Olarenwaju blamed Osun East senator, Francis Fadahunsi’s alleged inflammatory comment on Tinubu’s statement.

Fadahunsi came under criticism after a video surfaced in which he was allegedly heard directing his supporters to “kill” members of the Accord Party ahead of the election.

The senator, however, denied calling for violence, saying he instructed his supporters to “kill Accord” with votes, not through physical attacks.

However, Olarenwaju said Fadahunsi should be arrested and prosecuted for his remarks.

Posting on X, he wrote: “That Fadahunsi is still going to the TV station instead of the police station is confirmation of federal compromise.

“The laughable AI claims are an insult to our collective intelligence, and I wish he would be bold enough to double down on his evil directives to his APC thugs.

“Bola Tinubu’s ‘all is fair in politics’ statement has laid the foundation for extreme actions by APC persons, with Osun as the first experiment and Fadahunsi as the first APC chieftain caught on camera acting accordingly.

“He should be arrested and prosecuted immediately. Fadahunsi should at least be kept under house arrest for the duration of the rest of the campaigns in Osun until a winner is announced—to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

“The blatant preferential treatment for APC by the federal police is unacceptable by any democratic standard.”
