Atiku lost presidential polls, primaries six times 



By Alao Abiodun


Serial presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar once again lost out in the February 25th presidential election. 


Fortune failed to smile at him this time around again. Atiku, since 1993, has continued to eye the presidency seat but has been unsuccessful.


Running for President six times — 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, 2023 — was fraught with many of the same hurdles. 


He has contested six times for presidential tickets. On February 25, it was the third time he lost a presidential contest. 


At 76, this may be Atiku’s last attempt at having a shot at the presidency. 


The former Vice-President first ventured into politics in the 1980s when he campaigned for Bamanga Tukur, a former Governor of old Gongola.


Here is a timeline of presidential elections and primaries that Atiku contested in and lost:
