The scramble for the Peoples Democratic Party’s 2027 presidential ticket has officially begun, following the exit of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. With Atiku out of the picture, several prominent figures, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, are now positioning themselves to challenge incumbent President Bola Tinubu. According to sources within the PDP who spoke on condition of anonymity, Makinde and Bala’s presidential ambitions are no secret among key party stakeholders. These insiders confirm that both governors are actively exploring their options, setting the stage for a potentially fierce battle for the party’s nomination.
