2027 Elections: ADC Reveals How Buhari’s Grave Allegedly Called Them To Vote For Atiku

Former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, has stirred political reactions after claiming that the late Muhammadu Buhari’s supporters have received a message from the grave to support Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 presidential election.

Dalung, an African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, made the statement on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television.
He linked the alleged political shift to the recent visit of former First Lady Aisha Buhari to Atiku in Abuja, claiming that the visit signalled the transfer of Buhari’s 12 million votes to the former vice-president.

According to him, the late president’s political support base is now behind Atiku as the opposition prepares to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
“Last month you saw when the wife of the late president visited Atiku in Abuja. The message she took for any politician to know is that the 12 million votes have been successfully transferred. We have had a phone call from the grave of Buhari that we should vote Atiku,” Dalung declared.

He also maintained that Atiku had inherited the political structures of both Buhari and former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, describing the development as significant for the ADC’s political calculations.

Speaking further, Dalung insisted that President Bola Tinubu would not defeat Atiku in the 2027 presidential contest, even if the ruling party attempted to stop the ADC from carrying out its campaign activities.

“I am confident that as events are unfolding, Tinubu, even if he would take over the ADC secretariat and stop ADC from campaigning, he cannot defeat Atiku Abubakar in 2027,” he said.
Dalung also described Tinubu as a weak president in electoral contests, arguing that virtually any candidate could defeat him at the polls.

“I have never seen a weak president in an election like Bola Ahmed Tinubu. If you drag anybody on the street and put him on a ballot at a contest with Tinubu, he will defeat him,” he added.

The comments come as opposition parties and political leaders intensify consultations and alignments ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
