Former Vice-President and 2027 African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said the visit of former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, highlighted the need to build a better Nigeria.

n

Atiku disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, following a meeting with the former First Lady.

n

He said the visit was a reminder of the responsibility of those seeking a better country to prioritise the welfare and dignity of Nigerians.

n

“I was delighted to receive former First Lady, H.E. Aisha Buhari. Her visit was warm and deeply appreciated.

n

“Beyond the courtesies of the occasion, it was also a reminder of the urgent responsibility before all who seek a better Nigeria: to put the welfare, dignity and future of our people first,” he said.

n

Atiku said Nigerians deserved an economy that provided opportunities and enabled families to live with dignity and hope.

n

He said, “Across our country, families are being stretched by the rising cost of food, transport, education, healthcare and other basic necessities.

n

“Nigerians deserve an economy that rewards hard work, restores opportunity and allows every family to live with dignity and hope.”

n

The former Vice-President said building such a country would require collective efforts to ease the economic burden on Nigerians and restore hope.

n

“That is the Nigeria we must build together, a country that works for its people again. We must ease the burden, restore hope and make Nigeria Affordable Again,” he added.
