Atiku support Tinubu or prepare for the 2027 election
Speaking on the Supreme Court verdict, Anifowoshe maintained that the former vice-president still has the right to contest for the presidency at any time.
She said:
"Alhaji Atiku's right to contest for President of Nigeria is alienable. If indeed he feels that he has what it takes to govern Nigeria, he can either collaborate with the government in power as a statesman or get back to the strategy table and recontest in 4 years to get majority votes. It's not the first time he got this close to winning an election, so he can keep trying till he shatters the glass ceilings."
Atiku first contested for presidential ticket by proxy under the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the third republic.
In 2023, the 77-year-old Atiku had his seventh attempt at the presidency with much drama and theories that led to his defeat.

Atiku's 30-year journey of becoming the number one citizen of Nigeria suffered his latest defeat at the ballot box and the court, making the former vice president come, see and fail to conquer as the apex court stroke out his petition for lack of merit.
