The 2027 African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has again decried the economic hardship facing the country.
Atiku expressed concern of the state of the nation in a statement shared on his X handle following a visit to his residence by former Nigerian First Lady, Aisha Buhari.
The former Vice President described Buhari’s visit as a reminder of the urgent need to put the welfare, dignity and future of Nigerians first.
“Today, I was delighted to receive former First Lady, H.E. Aisha Buhari.
“Her visit was warm and deeply appreciated. Beyond the courtesies of the occasion, it was also a reminder of the urgent responsibility before all who seek a better Nigeria: to put the welfare, dignity and future of our people first.
“Across our country, families are being stretched by the rising cost of food, transport, education, healthcare and other basic necessities.” He said.
Atiku called for the support of Nigerians in building a country that works for everybody, restore hope, and ease burden.
“Nigerians deserve an economy that rewards hard work, restores opportunity and allows every family to live with dignity and hope.
“That is the Nigeria we must build together, a country that works for its people again.
“We must ease the burden, restore hope and Make Nigeria Affordable Again.”He added.
