Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar unviels his comprehensive economic blueprint and aggressive national security reforms during a high-stakes vetting session with the ADC screening committee.
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday appeared before the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential screening panel, where he aggressively pledged to overhaul and tackle the country’s widespread insecurity.
A post-exercise statement issued by Atiku’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Mr. Phrank Shaibu, characterized the intense session as an engagement that went far beyond routine party procedures. Instead, the rigorous exercise provided the veteran presidential aspirant with a vital national platform to present practical, immediate solutions aimed at rescuing Nigeria from its current state of severe economic stagnation and escalating security threats.
During the vetting, the former vice-president expressed profound concern over the nation’s soaring mass unemployment, rapid institutional decline, and persistent insecurity that has continuously exposed vulnerable citizens to traumatic kidnappings, targetted killings, and violent attacks.
He firmly argued that Nigeria can no longer afford to continue on its current trajectory where crushing hardship persists, local businesses fold overnight, and crucial investor confidence plummets due to unstable, highly unpredictable macroeconomic policies.
To counter these systemic failures, Atiku stated that his strategic economic blueprint will focus heavily on robust job creation, massive private sector expansion, strict fiscal discipline, stable macroeconomic management, and drawing sustainable long-term foreign investments into Nigeria. Turning to national safety, he explained that his defense agenda will prioritize intelligence-driven tactical operations, vastly improved inter-agency collaboration, decentralized security architectures, and decisive, unyielding military actions against criminal activities nationwide.
Emphasizing his readiness to govern, Atiku declared that at this defining moment in Nigeria’s national history, the country does not need political experiments but rather tested leadership and the raw courage to make difficult national decisions, reaffirming his ultimate commitment to building a secure, united, and prosperous nation where citizens can thrive with dignity.
