”Atiku should stay away from politics”, Fayose gives reason
Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has advised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to step away from contesting future elections.
Atiku, who has made multiple bids for the presidency (1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023), recently hinted that he might consider running again in 2027.
However, in a Channels Television interview, Fayose suggested that Atiku should retire from electoral politics, especially as he would be around 80 or 81 years old by the next election.
Fayose stated that Nigerians are increasingly calling for younger leadership, questioning the basis for Atiku’s potential return to the political stage.
He advised Atiku to exit when “the ovation is loudest,” suggesting that it is time for him to focus on other areas and allow a new generation to step forward.
“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.
