Atiku who was declared candidate of the ADC for the 2027 presidential election, there is no winner or loser in the primary.

He told former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi and Alhaji Mohammed Hayatu-Deen to help save the Nigeria democracy.

“Our people look up to us for leadership. I am ready to lead. I shall work with you all to continue to build our party. I will campaign with you and, if Nigerians give us the mandate, govern with you to build a country that works for all,” Atiku pleaded.

He told them that they were driven to contest the primary by their patriotism and commitment to a better Nigeria and improved life for our people.

“I know that, like me, you are deeply concerned about the rapid descent of our country into economic disaster, catastrophic insecurity, extreme nepotism, political intolerance and the drive towards a one-party state by the current government and its party.

“I thank you for your healthy participation in this democratic process,” he added.

Atiku promised to tackle Insecurity, improve the standard of education and rescue the nation’s economy.

“An ADC government under my leadership will take decisive action to address insecurity and protect lives and property in the country.

“We shall strengthen the armed forces, the police and other security agencies with massive new recruitment, provision of modern and adequate equipment, training, improved welfare and effective leadership. We shall also ensure accountability and proper coordination and intelligence sharing among all our security agencies,” Atiku promised.
