Atiku Abubakar Praises Senators for Joining ADC

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President of Nigeria, publicly commended nine senators who recently defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Abubakar highlighted that these lawmakers' decisions were not driven by personal gain but were instead committed to the democratic process in Nigeria.

He noted that their move comes at a critical time when politicians are allegedly being pressured to join ruling parties. Abubakar specifically praised Senator Bino Yaro and the eight other distinguished senators for their bold alignment with the ADC.

He emphasized that such courageous decisions are essential for maintaining a credible opposition in Nigeria, which is necessary for good governance and the future of the nation. Abubakar reiterated that when leaders prioritize principles over personal interests, they contribute positively to national progress and the strengthening of democracy.
