Atiku Abubakar's 100-Day Security Plan for Nigeria

Atiku Abubakar, a presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, articulated his strategy to address Nigeria's insecurity during a Hausa-speaking interview on the PAP show. He highlighted the severe impact of Boko Haram, ISWAP, banditry, and separatist activities by IPOB, which have resulted in thousands of deaths and displacements.

Atiku proposed increasing the number of security personnel and ensuring they are adequately equipped to tackle these challenges. He recounted a past instance when he advised the then-president to summon security chiefs regarding Boko Haram's emergence in Yobe, criticizing current leadership for failing to hold them accountable.

Additionally, he addressed the recent protests by retired military officers over unpaid entitlements, attributing the issue to the alleged diversion of public funds. Atiku also pledged to restore the fuel subsidy, arguing that its removal has not improved the lives of Nigerians.
