Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has articulated the urgent necessity for Nigeria to undergo restructuring to guarantee that citizens can fully benefit from democracy. In a coalition meeting held on Tuesday in Yola, which included participants from various political parties, he emphasized that the nation is currently not progressing as it should. Atiku remarked, “We need a new movement that we can use to correct things; if we do not act this time, our children will become slaves in their father’s land.”
He indicated that he would soon address pressing national issues and clarify his political stance, urging his supporters to remain steadfast and concentrated. “It is not yet time for me to speak on the politics of the country, but very soon I will break my silence on my political position and other things that are going on wrongly in the country,” he stated. He urged Nigerians to remain alert and committed to the nation’s welfare, describing the proposed movement as a potential remedy for the country’s challenges.
The meeting’s organizer, Senator Ishaku Abbo, reaffirmed Atiku’s position as a political leader, regardless of party affiliation. He expressed, “The former vice president you are our party, you are our logo, anywhere you go we will follow you.” Abbo highlighted that Atiku’s leadership qualities during his tenure as vice president earned him respect and affinity among democrats.
The event drew representatives from all 21 local government areas of Adamawa State, including aides to the All Progressives Congress’s 2023 governorship candidate, Senator Aishatu Binani. One of Binani’s aides, who opted for anonymity, confirmed the candidate’s involvement in the coalition, stating, “For you to see me here, it is very clear that my principal is among the coalition team, you see other members of the APC who are her supporters here.” He noted that Senator Binani was engaged in other commitments but would attend the next coalition meeting.
In summary, Atiku Abubakar has called for an urgent restructuring of Nigeria to enhance democratic benefits for its citizens, urging action to prevent future grievances for the upcoming generations. Atiku aims to clarify his political stance soon and encourages vigilance and commitment among Nigerians. Senator Ishaku Abbo underscores Atiku’s leadership role in the coalition as representatives from various political affiliations come together for the common goal of national improvement. Such coalition meetings indicate a significant unification across party lines, revealing a concerted effort toward change in Nigeria.
