Aisha Buhari Transferred Late President’s 12m Votes To Atiku, Dalung Claims
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Solomon Dalung, has claimed that former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, visited former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to inform him that the 12 million votes associated with her late husband, former President Muhammadu Buhari, had been transferred to him ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Dalung also claimed that a phone call had been received from the grave of the late president urging Nigerians to vote for Atiku.
He made the claims on Thursday while speaking on Politics Today, a programme on MEDIA TODAY, where he expressed confidence that Atiku would defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
According to Dalung, Atiku remains the only Nigerian politician with a nationwide political structure capable of mounting a strong challenge against Tinubu.

He argued that the former vice-president inherited the political structure of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, describing Atiku as a political product of the former president.
Dalung further linked Atiku’s electoral strength to the 12 million votes associated with Muhammadu Buhari, claiming that the votes had now been transferred to the ADC presidential hopeful.
“I am as confident as I am as events are unfolding that Tinubu, even if he will take over the ADC secretariat and stop ADC from campaigning, he cannot defeat Atiku Abubakar in 2027.
“The reason is very simple. Atiku Abubakar is the only politician in Nigeria who has a national structure.
“He inherited the structure of late General Musa Yar’Adua, because he is a political product of General Musa Yar’Adua. That of General Muhammadu Buhari’s 12 million votes.

“Of course, last month or thereabout, you saw when the wife of the late president visited Atiku in his residence 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. Therefore, there is much on the ground for them,” he said.
Dalung’s comments come amid the party’s leadership crisis that took another turn on November 5, when the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified the Mark-led national leadership and invalidated the process that produced former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election. The ADC has indicated plans to challenge the ruling.
