Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed deep concern over Nigeria’s political climate, warning that the country risks becoming a one-party state. In his message commemorating Nigeria’s 64th Independence anniversary, Atiku urged political leaders to unite and protect democracy from further decline.
He lamented the weakening of opposition parties and the ruling party’s manipulation of electoral processes, which he said undermines the nation’s democratic integrity. Atiku called for a strong coalition across party lines to restore credible opposition and guide Nigeria towards a better future.
Congratulating Nigerians on the anniversary, Atiku emphasized the resilience and resolve of citizens who continue to believe in the country’s potential. He urged collective efforts to achieve the vision set forth by Nigeria’s founding leaders.
