2027: How We Received Phone Call From Buhari’s Grave To Vote Atiku — Dalung

A former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, has made a controversial claim regarding the 2027 presidential election, stating that supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) received a metaphorical call from the grave of former President Muhammadu Buhari urging them to vote for Atiku Abubakar.

Dalung, an influential ADC chieftain, made the remarks during an appearance on television on Thursday, tying the purported message to a recent visit by the late president’s widow, Aisha Buhari, to Atiku in Abuja.

‘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 stated.

According to the former minister, Atiku has successfully inherited the extensive political machinery and voting networks associated with both Muhammadu Buhari and the late former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, granting him a solid nationwide advantage.

Dalung further dismissed the re-election prospects of President Bola Tinubu, asserting that the incumbent administration cannot withstand the opposition momentum even under restrictive political conditions.

‘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 maintained.

Accusing the President of apprehension regarding the forthcoming ballot, Dalung added: ‘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.’
