  "summary": "The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reassured Nigerians that its presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, will not be an \"absentee President\" if elected in the 2027 presidential election. ADC Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated that Atiku would be physically present and responsive to the needs of the Nigerian people. Ologbondiyan highlighted Atiku's understanding of Nigeria's economic and social challenges, as well as his proposed policy interventions during the 2023 presidential campaign. The ADC candidate's recent economic proposals aim to reduce the burden of rising energy and living costs, while his approach to governance focuses on addressing economic difficulties, improving citizens' welfare, and restoring confidence in public institutions.",
