Atiku Promises to Address Insecurity at ADC Presidential Screening Panel, 2027

A statement released by Atiku’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Mr. Phrank Shaibu, after the event described the engagement as “beyond routine party procedures.”

The statement said the exercise gave the former vice‑president a platform to present practical solutions aimed at lifting Nigeria out of economic stagnation and security challenges.

Atiku expressed concern over mass unemployment, institutional decline and persistent insecurity, noting that these issues have exposed citizens to kidnappings, killings and violent attacks.

He warned that Nigeria could not continue on its current trajectory, where hardship persists, businesses collapse, and investor confidence wanes due to uncertain economic policies.

Atiku outlined an economic blueprint focused on job creation, private‑sector expansion, fiscal discipline, stable macro‑economic management, and attracting sustainable investments to Nigeria.

His security agenda would prioritize intelligence‑driven operations, improved inter‑agency collaboration, decentralized security structures, and decisive actions against criminal activities nationwide.

“At this defining moment in our national life, Nigeria does not need experiments. It needs tested leadership and courage to make necessary national decisions,” he said.

The presidential aspirant reaffirmed his commitment to building a secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria where citizens can live peacefully and pursue opportunities with dignity and confidence.

Former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar appeared before the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential screening panel on Wednesday, pledging to tackle insecurity nationwide.
