Atiku Vows To Resist Election Rigging And Combat Governance Failures

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has publicly committed to fighting against election rigging and confronting what he terms ongoing governance failures across Nigeria.

Abubakar made these declarations on Saturday via a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, following a meeting with a delegation of Gombe State stakeholders led by former Minister and Senator Idris Abdullahi.

“Yesterday, I vowed to stand against the stealing of elections and oppose bad governance,” Abubakar stated.

He explained that his interaction with the Gombe group provided an opportunity to reflect on Nigeria’s governance trajectory and underscore the urgent need for reform.

“I stressed that enough is enough, and that Nigerians cannot continue to suffer amidst an abundance of resources owing to bad governance,” he emphasized.

Abubakar also expressed strong confidence in the collaborative efforts of opposition parties under the African Democratic Congress (ADC)-led coalition, asserting its focus on improving governance outcomes.

“The coalition of opposition leaders under the umbrella of the ADC would work assiduously to usher in a positive change that will transform the lives of our people,” he affirmed.

Commenting on the coalition’s leadership, Abubakar highlighted that its interim structure demonstrates a commitment to transparency.

“The quality of the interim leadership shows that we are ready to bring integrity to the process and give Nigerians the responsible leadership they deserve,” he added.

The former Vice President welcomed the Gombe delegation’s endorsement of the coalition’s efforts, noting their alignment with the broader political direction.

“I am further inspired by the Gombe stakeholders’ pledge of total support and loyalty to the decision of the coalition by joining the ADC,” he said.

He also recounted his past political involvement in Gombe State, specifically mentioning his support for Danjuma Goje’s governorship election in 2003, a role the group reportedly acknowledged.
