Atiku Abubakar Warns of Nigeria's Full-Blown Crisis

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President of Nigeria and a presidential aspirant for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is preparing for a visit to the United States. In a statement released on Sunday by Paul I.B., he expressed grave concerns regarding Nigeria's current state, describing it as facing a "full-blown crisis." Abubakar highlighted the alarming deterioration of security and economic stability in Nigeria, emphasizing that the situation can no longer be downplayed as a mere political issue.

He pointed to the rampant violence in the northwest and northeast regions, the increasing bloodshed in the Middle Belt, and the widespread kidnapping across the country. Abubakar warned that the Nigerian state is steadily losing its grip on its fundamental responsibility to protect the lives and properties of its citizens.

He argued that the government cannot guarantee basic security and has forfeited its moral basis for governance, as the situation has escalated beyond isolated incidents to a systemic failure affecting communities and livelihoods.
