His exact message?
“You’re not Abraham Lincoln. It’s time to step aside and start making kings.”
Ouch.
That line alone has split the room. Some people are clapping, others are furious. The message is clear: Atiku has contested too many times, and instead of another run, he should be mentoring, backing, and building the next generation of leaders.
But here’s the real question Nigerians are arguing about:
Is experience being wasted… or is ambition refusing to retire?
When is persistence admirable, and when does it become a blockage?
Politics in Nigeria doesn’t forgive age, patience, or ego. And statements like this show the war for 2027 has already started — quietly, but brutally.
What do you think?
Should Atiku step aside and become a kingmaker, or does he still deserve one final shot?
