Atiku backed to improve Nigeria’s economy

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has been backed to improve Nigeria’s economy if elected president in 2027.

The Director General of Global Initiatives for Good Governance (GIGG), Dr. Emeka Kalu, gave his backing to Atiku in a statement in Lagos.

According to Kalu, the type of leadership Nigeria needs right now is someone who has the required experience and national appeal, which Atiku possesses as a detribalised Nigerian.

“As the curtain of the 2027 general elections closes on, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar remains the only leader with the wealth of experience to fix Nigeria, rejuvenate the nation’s crumbling economy,” Kalu said.

“The present state of the nation demands that a president with national appeal be popularly elected since the APC’s vetted nine years of governance has woefully failed us.

“Leadership is a sensitive profession, and only those with the capacity, wisdom, and sagacity are fit to govern the polity.

“Those sentimentally harbouring ill-conceived feelings of ethnic hatred, mudslinging, and media attacks on Atiku’s personality are the main enemies of the country who are good at sponsoring and installing stooges in positions of authority with the deceptive intent of receiving undue gratifications from the puppets.

“They rely on cheap political permutations to peddle falsehood against a man whose good antecedents have pencilled his name on the golden stones of honour.”

Kalu, in his statement, also urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Nigerians to give Atiku the needed support and votes so the former VP can emerge as president in 2027.
