Atiku Abubakar is set to travel to the United States to highlight Nigeria’s declining governance standards, economic hardship, and rising insecurity on the global stage.
In a statement released on Sunday, Paul Ibe, Atiku’s media adviser, revealed that the former vice president will address institutional and policy stakeholders in the US during his upcoming engagement.
Nigeria is experiencing a serious domestic crisis that cannot be minimised or politicised, the statement emphasised.
“From the ravaging violence in the North-West and North-East, to the persistent bloodshed in the Middle Belt, and the growing spread of kidnapping and criminality across the country, Atiku warns that the Nigerian state is steadily losing its grip on its most fundamental responsibility: the protection of lives and property.
“According to him, the situation has moved beyond isolated incidents to a pattern of systemic failure. Communities are being overrun, livelihoods destroyed, and citizens abandoned to their fate.
“He argues that any government that cannot guarantee basic security forfeits the moral basis of its mandate,” the statement read.
BACKSTORY…
Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar has cautioned President Bola Tinubu for stating that rising insecurity in parts of the country would not force him out of office.
Recall that on Wednesday, Tinubu reaffirmed his decision to run for a second term against all odds.
He also vowed that persons attempting to use the worsening security crisis to prevent his re-election have another thing coming.
He said, “You are playing into the hands of agents, including my own enemies, who want to use insecurity to get rid of me,” Tinubu had said.
