via Punch Nigeria9 hours ago2 min read
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar stated that Nigeria's economy, security, sovereignty, education, healthcare, and infrastructure have collapsed under the current administration. Speaking at the African Democratic Congress national convention in Abuja, he urged party leaders and members to commit to genuine change. Abubakar recalled being compelled to join the All Progressives Congress during its formation, only for the country to deteriorate. He described a comprehensive failure across various sectors, emphasizing that the current situation demands more than ordinary political activity. He called on ADC members to view the upcoming election as a chance to reverse the country's decline, stressing the need for sincere change. The former presidential candidate, who previously ran on the Peoples Democratic Party platform, noted that his generation entered public life out of obligation to younger Nigerians. He expressed concern that Nigeria has not been good to the current generation, including youth and women, under present conditions, which he stated is why he is now with the ADC.
