Atiku Abubakar, a leading presidential candidate in Nigeria, is reportedly anxious about losing the northern region to President Muhammadu Buhari's ally, Tinubu, according to a statement by Keyamo. Keyamo, a former minister, published a Facebook post titled “Why Atiku Abubakar is Particularly Jittery About the Kaduna Flag-off.” The post claims Atiku is concerned about Tinubu’s strategy in the north.
Keyamo’s statement focuses on the Kaduna flag-off, a key event in the presidential election process. He suggests that Tinubu’s campaign in the north is gaining momentum, which could threaten Atiku’s chances. The post highlights the political dynamics between the candidates, particularly in regions where Tinubu has strong support.
This comes amid a highly competitive election season in Nigeria. Tinubu, a former Lagos state governor, is running as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party of former President Buhari. Atiku, representing the People's Democratic Party (PDP), is seen as a strong contender. The competition in the north, a region historically supportive of the APC, is a critical factor in the race.
The political landscape in Nigeria remains tense as candidates vie for the presidency. The Kaduna flag-off is one of several key events that will shape the election outcome. Keyamo’s claims add to the growing narrative of strategic maneuvering among the candidates.
