I Am Healthy and Ready for Nationwide Tour, You Cannot Campaign by Proxy, Atiku Tells Tinubu

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared that he is in good health and fully ready to embark on a nationwide campaign tour across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

This was contained in a press statement issued on Saturday, October 17, 2026, by his S.A Media, Ado A Ado Kano.

According to the statement, Atiku is fit, healthy and prepared for the rigorous campaign ahead.

However, the major headline from the statement is Atiku’s direct response to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Atiku said President Tinubu cannot campaign by proxy.

He challenged President Tinubu to come out himself and defend his record before Nigerians, instead of hiding behind governors, ministers and defected politicians who are campaigning on his behalf.

Atiku maintained that Nigerians deserve to hear directly from the President and not through surrogates.

The statement was signed by Ado A Ado Kano, S.A Media to Atiku Abubakar.
