Presidential hopeful Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has pledged to eliminate insecurity in Nigeria within one year of assuming office if elected in the 2027 general elections. During an interview with BBC Hausa, the former Vice President elaborated on several policy proposals, including the restoration of fuel subsidy and strengthening regional military cooperation.
Atiku stated he would recruit additional security personnel, equip them with necessary resources, and provide funding to enable youths to establish businesses, addressing the root causes of criminal activities. He also expressed willingness to collaborate with Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) leaders to revive the Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) and enhance military cooperation among member nations.
Despite skepticism about Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducting fair elections, Atiku urged voters to participate in the 2027 elections and ensure their votes are counted. The presidential candidate indicated that he would not seek another term and would remain available to mentor young politicians should his bid fail.
