Atiku Abubakar

African Democratic Congress (ADC)
President (running mate Amaechi Chibuike Rotimi) · Nationwide, Nigeria · 2027
PurposeA 12-point plan for his 2027 campaign focused on cost of living, trade infrastructure, and devolving power away from the centre.

Economy
On the cost of living, he proposes restoring a targeted petroleum subsidy to ease transport and living costs, alongside a review of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund with possible debt forgiveness for students, and reformed electricity tariff classifications to end what he calls discriminatory billing.

Infrastructure
On infrastructure and trade, the plan calls for reviving the eastern ports at Port Harcourt, Calabar and Warri, developing a new deep-sea port at Uyo to ease pressure on Lagos, and reopening land borders for legitimate cross-border commerce.

Governance
On governance, Atiku pledges to implement the Supreme Court judgment on direct local government funding, devolve more power to states and localities by amending the Exclusive and Concurrent Legislative Lists, implement the long-shelved Oronsaye Report on restructuring government agencies, and reserve 40% of government appointments for youth and women.

Security
Further commitments include a $10 billion startup and entrepreneurship financing programme for young people and women, expanded security recruitment and improved welfare for personnel, and institutional healthcare reforms to address shortages of medical staff and improve access to basic care.
