Atiku Abubaka (1).webp
The Digest:

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is positioning the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a coalition to defend Nigerians' rights against an "emerging dictatorship" under President Bola Tinubu. During meetings with key political figures, Abubakar declared that the coalition would be "unrelenting" in its efforts to save the country's democracy from perceived anti-democratic forces.

Key Points:
  • Atiku Abubakar is leading a coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
  • He said the coalition aims to "rescue our democracy from the stranglehold of this emerging dictatorship."
  • Abubakar met with Senator Aminu Tambuwal and former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami.
  • He alleged recent events in Kaduna, Katsina, and other states point to a troubling drift toward authoritarianism.
  • He cited police invitations to former Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai and an attack on Malami's convoy as examples of "anti-democratic" acts.
This strategic political move signals a renewed push by the opposition to unite and confront the current administration.
