Posting on X, Sowore wrote: “Nigeria’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unwell just managing himself, reason he’s abruptly flown to ‘Europe’ today @Senator_Akpabio is practically dying, why is Nigeria governed by sick people?

However, Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, has described the claims as false and misleading.
Reacting on Saturday, December 27, Ibe shared a screenshot of the report on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account and wrote bluntly:
“Fake news: Not on the menu!”
The denial has triggered fresh reactions online, with supporters of Atiku and Peter Obi debating the 2027 permutations and possible political alliances.
The development is also coming amid reports that Peter Obi is planning to formally join the ADC, further fueling speculation ahead of the next general election.
With 2027 still some distance away, political calculations appear to be heating up, and Atiku has made it clear he is not stepping down for anyone.

Obi revealed this while speaking during a X Spaces on Sunday night.
The ex-governor of Anambra State, however, insisted he will not be a running mate to anybody.
According to Obi, he has not garnered all the experience he has, only to end up as a vice-president.
“I am not travelling round the world to learn governance to be Vice president,” Obi said.
““I know how to turn Nigeria around. I built my business from scratch and have more experience than any candidate, including the sitting President.
“Peter Obi will be on the ballot in 2027. I need your support. I need your prayers.”
