Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has called for urgent restructuring in Nigeria, stressing that it is essential for citizens to fully enjoy the benefits of democracy.
Addressing a coalition meeting in Yola on Tuesday, the 2023
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate expressed concern over
the country’s current direction, insisting that immediate action is necessary
to prevent future generations from suffering.
He emphasized the need for a strong movement to bring about
change, warning that failure to act could lead to a situation where Nigerian
children become strangers in their own land.
In his remarks, Atiku hinted at an upcoming political
declaration, stating that while the time was not yet right for him to speak
extensively on national issues, he would soon break his silence on the state of
affairs in the country.
He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and committed to protecting
the nation’s interests, describing the coalition as a crucial force in
addressing the challenges Nigeria faces.
The meeting drew a wide range of political figures,
including Senator Ishaku Abbo, who reaffirmed Atiku’s leadership and influence
beyond party lines.
He declared that Atiku remained a central political figure,
emphasizing that his supporters would continue to align with him regardless of
political affiliations.
Atiku’s tenure as vice president, Abbo noted, had solidified
his reputation as a leader dedicated to democratic values.
Representatives from all 21 local government areas of
Adamawa State attended the event, including key figures from the All
Progressives Congress (APC) aligned with Senator Aishatu Binani, the party’s
2023 governorship candidate.
