Chuks Okocha and Linus Aleke in Abuja
Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has declared that the era of political complacency, propaganda, and governance by deception is drawing to a close, stating that Nigerians have seen enough and are preparing to reclaim their country through the power of the ballot.
Also, the coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has called on the federal government to urgently fulfil its constitutional obligation to protect lives and property across the country amid worsening insecurity and rising incidents of violence.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said that as President Bola Tinubu administration marks three years in office, its most fitting report card is not the glossy advertisements, expensive media campaigns, or self-congratulatory speeches emanating from Abuja, but the tears of hungry families, the despair of unemployed youths, the collapse of businesses, and the haunting images of schoolchildren being abducted by criminals while a complacent government looks the other way.
According to Atiku, every government is entitled to its own opinions, but no government is entitled to its own facts.
