Atiku Abubakar Launches Citizen Engagement Platform

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), launched an information and citizen-engagement platform called the Ask AA portal. This initiative, announced by ADC’s Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, aims to provide Nigerians with direct access to inquire about Atiku's political agenda, public service record, and plans for the country.

The platform went live at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, allowing citizens to submit questions on topics such as the economy, security, technology, and job creation. Atiku is expected to respond personally to questions, with assistance from his media team.

The initiative is designed to bridge the information gap between voters and Atiku, promoting transparency and accountability. Atiku stated that he believes leadership should involve direct communication with citizens and plans to contact some participants personally to discuss their experiences and concerns.

The campaign also intends to make the platform accessible via radio for communities without internet access.
