The Waziri of Adamawa and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar  has vowed to remain in politics for life.

He made this statement while answering questions on BBC Hausa service political program recently. 

According to him, “If anyone thinks we will sit behind and continue to watch how Nigerians are suffering and are being oppressed, then I think that person is dreaming. Because I am not tired of politics at all and will never be. 

“You should wait and see in 2027 whether I will contest or not. We struggled for the establishment of this democratic system and will continue to ensure it is sustained. Therefore we will not sit back and watch things going the wrong way” he said. 

Atiku has been in political limelight since 1989 and was one of the close associates of late General Shehu Yar’adua. 

He has been in several political parties in Nigeria since he joined politics.
