Atiku Abubakar Demands Answers on Lekki Shooting Incident

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has demanded that the Federal Government explain who ordered the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos, stating that Nigerians are still awaiting answers six years after the incident. In a post on his 𝕏 handle on October 20, Atiku criticized the Bola Tinubu-led government for the escalating cost of living, which has made it difficult for many Nigerians to afford basic necessities.

He pointed out that the questions surrounding the October 20, 2020 shooting remain unanswered, emphasizing the need for justice and accountability for the families affected. Atiku also linked the ongoing economic challenges, such as high petrol prices and reduced purchasing power, to the government's failure to protect citizens' lives.

He proposed an Economic Recovery Plan aimed at making life more affordable and reducing government waste, while reiterating that young people deserve answers about the Lekki shooting.
