Atiku Abubakar: The only solution to the situation in Nigeria today

Over the past eight years, Nigeria has experienced dramatic changes that have reshaped our social, economic and political environment in negative ways. The solutions that have been promised have clearly been unable to deliver meals to our tables, or maintain unity, peace and progress for all of our people.

Across the country, lives and property of our citizens have been lost in communal clashes, some between longtime neighbors, that could have been handled by a committed government.

An insurgency in the northeast that we were promised would be crushed within the first four years of the APC has persisted unchecked. In the midst of all this violence, the current government has remained silent and shown its inability to face these challenges, even showing extreme bias. Today, they still claim, shamelessly, that only they can solve the problems they have visibly worsened. In the next elections, the decision to be made is obvious. Do we continue with the failed policies that have made Nigeria economic, political and social or do we change course and elect a leadership that has proven itself best prepared to meet these challenges? As we seek a leader who will provide resourceful solutions to lift Nigeria out of its current challenges, it is fundamental that our next President has a history of building bridges to connect all the different groups that make up the Nigerian nation and must possess some of the qualities that reveal an attachment to the democratic principle in his private and public life, and in the way he delegates responsibilities. Unlike candidates who celebrate the mentorship of political disciples within their limited political space, Atiku's mentorship spans the entire nation, regardless of ethnicity, religion or geopolitical space.

Atiku Abubakar

His emergence as a candidate is seen as a long-awaited opportunity to reintroduce a government that draws on a wealth of experience in economic management, and that is driven by a pure desire to inculcate democratic values, unsullied by petty tribalism or nepotism, factors that have continually stifled Nigeria's growth. Beyond his strong record in upholding democratic values, Atiku's role in sustaining one of the greatest periods of growth the Nigerian economy has ever known speaks volumes about his ability to cope. to our current crises. Atiku is the only presidential aspirant who has a verifiable track record of advocating for the need to restructure the process of federal administration in order for Nigeria to achieve lasting peace, unity and progress. Atiku's constant call for restructuring has now been accepted as the only condition for lasting peace, unity and progress in Nigeria. He is posing as the first presidential candidate to truly call for a complete reassessment of our current tax arrangement to ensure fairness for all in a true federal system. It is common knowledge that Atiku was the main instigator of diverting 13% of oil revenues to oil-producing states. Atiku believes that no amount of resources is too much to sacrifice to assuage feelings and fears of marginalization by any group in Nigeria. It is also to his credit that the 13% derivation principle is enshrined and supported in the current constitution. Judging by Atiku Abubakar's visions and commitment to realizing his visions for the development of Nigeria, a desire he has consistently pursued for many years now, he remains the best man for the job in 2023. Atiku Abubakar's intention to run for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has raised the hopes of many.
