Atiku and El-Rufai seem to be running out of time in the political game of 2027 as PDP governors decamp to the ruling party day after day.

What's their motivation for harboring a presidential ambition?

They claimed that the present government's poor implementation of its economic policies and Tinubu's poor reputation are the factors motivating them to contest for the presidency.

However, it's not a hidden fact that the Fulanis believe they have a right to always lead Nigeria, but this is not the case now, nor are they in control as they usually are. Additionally, they have exhibited a personality issue with Tinubu, which they feel would be better settled at the 2027 polls.

So far, it is getting very difficult by the day for them to put up a strong structure to fight the president.

They are tinkering with different ideas, though, and one of those ideas is a Muslim-Fulani- northerner/ Muslim-Fulani-northerner ticket to have a ticket strong enough to defeat the Tinubu/Shetima ticket. And there is a growing idea within the camp of the coalition that an Atiku/El-Rufai ticket might just do the trick.

Even when it is looking like an impossible task, what with the members of the other political parties decamping every day to the ruling party.
