Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has pledged that the interests of the Yoruba race will remain a top priority in his governance and policymaking if elected as President of Nigeria in 2027.

Atiku, who described the Yoruba people as his extended family, vowed that there would be no Hausa/Fulani domination over Yoruba or any other ethnic groups if he emerges as president.

Highlighting his marriage to Titi Atiku Abubakar, “a jewel of inestimable value from Ijesa in Osun State,” he noted that the Yoruba nation occupies a “special place in my heart.”

“It is for this reason that I count myself extremely lucky indeed to have had a wife from amongst this noble specie of the human race, which by this token implies that the bond uniting me together with the Yoruba is aptly like the genetic bond of a family, and this is why the Yoruba, whether individually or collectively, have always occupied a special place in my heart.

“It is also for this reason that the interest of the Yoruba will always occupy a topmost place in my policy making and governance if by the special Grace of Allah, I am lucky to be president in 2027.

“Therefore, the fear that my ascension to Presidency might lead to Hausa/Fulani domination over Yoruba or other ethnic groups does not only arise, but also is absolutely unfounded because the entire Yoruba stock are my larger extended family and In-laws,” he said.
