Atiku spoke yesterday after meeting with a delegation of Kannywood stakeholders, North West opinion leaders and digital media influencers in Abuja.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has stated that the 2027 general elections will mark a significant turning point for Nigeria, emphasizing that it will not be business as usual.
Atiku spoke yesterday after meeting with a delegation of Kannywood stakeholders, North West opinion leaders and digital media influencers in Abuja.
The delegation, led by Dr Aslam Aliyu, a prominent Zamfara politician and head of the PAA 2027 New Media & Digital Communications Forum, included members of the Kannywood industry and other advocacy groups.
Daily Trust reports that Atiku, former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other opposition leaders in the country are working out democratic modalities to unseat President Tinubu in the next general election.
Atiku explained that the coalition was formed in direct response to Nigerians’ demands for change, especially considering the country’s current challenges.
“I told the visiting forum that the envisaged coalition is a deliberate effort to recover and rebuild Nigeria in line with the yearnings and aspirations of the people.
“I assured the forum that 2027 will not be business as usual,” Atiku said.
He urged the group to stay committed and play an active role in public enlightenment, especially on why Nigerians should support the coalition’s mission to fix the country’s problems.
“I am aware of the pervasive level of insecurity and other challenges citizens are facing on a daily basis. Suffice it to say that we, in the coalition, have the individual and collective capacity to tackle them headlong,” Atiku said.
