Atiku Abubakar Warns of Democracy Crisis in Nigeria

Atiku Abubakar, a prominent political figure and former Vice President of Nigeria, expressed grave concerns regarding the state of democracy in Nigeria during a statement released by his media office. He described the current political environment in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as one where democracy is under siege, attributing this to the administration's oppressive policies that stifle civic participation and weaken opposition voices.

Abubakar noted that the administration's actions have created a climate of intimidation and fear, leading to a significant decline in voter turnout and public confidence in the electoral process. He warned that if left unchecked, these trends could inflict irreparable damage on Nigeria's democratic fabric, which has been painstakingly built over decades.

Abubakar called for opposition parties to unite and present a cohesive front to safeguard the republic and restore democracy in Nigeria.
