Nigeria: Nigerians Are Tired, They Deserve Better, Atiku Ready to Provide It, Says Movement
[This Day] Sokoto -- The Atiku/Amaechi Movement, has said the 2027 presidential election should be determined by capacity, experience and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, rather than by personalities and political rhetoric.
The Atiku/Amaechi Movement has called for the 2027 presidential election to be based on capacity, experience, and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, rather than on personalities and political rhetoric. The group, led by Umar Ibrahim Shanono, reacted to former Kano State Governor Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso's comments about the candidacy of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The Movement's Media and Communications Director, Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, emphasized that while they respect Senator Kwankwaso's opinion, they firmly state that 2027 is about qualifications, not individuals. Sanyinnawal highlighted Atiku Abubakar's proven track record in both the public and private sectors, his deep understanding of Nigeria's economy, and the national reach required to unite the country, which is currently divided and fraught with mistrust among regions and ethnic groups.
The Movement also pointed out that Atiku, paired with former Rivers State Governor and former Minister of Transportation Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, offers tested leadership needed at this critical time. Despite disagreements over the Atiku/Amaechi pairing, the Movement refrains from rancor, stating that the challenges confronting Nigerians are too severe for distractions.
The statement urged all opposition leaders and patriotic Nigerians to prioritize the country's well-being.
