2027: ‘Bola’ has made life expensive, we can’t allow it – Atiku challenges Tinubu

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has harshly criticized President Bola Tinubu for the escalating cost of living and rising insecurity in Nigeria. In a post on his X account, Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, lamented that Nigerian families are grappling with the affordability of basic necessities while living in constant fear of kidnappings and attacks. He urged registered voters to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in anticipation of future elections.

Atiku expressed deep sympathy for the struggles faced by citizens, stating that parents are now worried about feeding their children, and pensioners are forced to choose between purchasing food and essential medication. He also highlighted the financial hardships faced by young Nigerians, who despite their hard work, continue to struggle as transport fares, rent, and other essential expenses consume their earnings.

The ADC chieftain further expressed his concern over the pervasive insecurity across the nation, emphasizing that families are increasingly worried about the safety of their loved ones amid kidnappings and attacks. Atiku declared, "No family should have to face hunger and insecurity at the same time. We cannot allow this hardship and fear to become the future our children inherit."

Appealing to eligible voters, Atiku called for the collection and safeguarding of their PVCs, describing them as tools for citizens to voice their choices and demand political change through the ballot. He pledged to work towards making life affordable again and restoring the security that every Nigerian deserves. Atiku urged Nigerians of all generations to unite in pursuit of a country where families can live with dignity, safety, and hope.
