The event was attended by various political representatives, highlighting broad support for his leadership.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar emphasized the necessity for urgent restructuring in Nigeria to enhance democratic benefits for its citizens. At a coalition meeting in Yola, he expressed concern that the nation is not progressing as it should. “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 remarked, indicating the importance of immediate action.
Atiku indicated that he would soon address pressing national issues and clarify his political stance, urging supporters to maintain composure and focus. “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, indicating his forthcoming engagement.
He called upon Nigerians to be vigilant and actively work for the country’s welfare, referring to the new movement as a potential beacon of hope. Senator Ishaku Abbo, the meeting’s convenor, remarked that Atiku remains a pivotal political figure for all, regardless of party affiliation, stating, “The former vice president, you are our party, you are our logo, anywhere you go we will follow you.”
The event gathered representatives from all 21 local government areas of Adamawa State, including aides of the All Progressives Congress’ 2023 governorship candidate, Senator Aishatu Binani, who confirmed her involvement in the coalition. An aide remarked that support for Binani’s participation was evident among coalition members, assuring that “the next meeting she will be in attendance”.
In summary, Atiku Abubakar’s call for urgent restructuring illustrates his commitment to enhancing democracy in Nigeria. His upcoming statements are anticipated to provide clarity on his political vision. As the coalition gains momentum across party lines, it underscores a collective desire for positive change in the country’s governance. Vigilance and unity among citizens have been emphasized as key components in this movement for reform.
