Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has said that the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has nothing to offer Nigerians.
Sowore made this assertion in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday as Nigeria prepares to elect new leaders in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
Sowore, a presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, stated that Atiku has been part of Nigeria’s political establishment since the 1980s.
Recall that Atiku, a former vice president, in a recent interview promised to return fuel subsidy if elected in next year’s elections.
This was as he argued that the removal of the fuel subsidy by the administration of President Bola Tinubu has not yielded any benefit for Nigeria.
Airing his own opinion, Sowore said Atiku Abubakar has been part of Nigeria’s political establishment since the 1980s.
“He served as vice president for eight years during an era when enormous sums were poured into the power sector, yet millions of Nigerians remained trapped in darkness.
“After decades at the centre of Nigeria’s political system, what fundamentally different future is Atiku offering Nigerians today? Nothing!
“Nigeria does not need another recycling of the same political elite. We need a clean break from the system that produced poverty, corruption, insecurity and darkness.”
