Nigeria’s Challenges Making Me Consider 2023 Presidential Ambition – Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said the challenges currently rocking Nigeria keeps him awake at night.

Speaking to members of the members of the Let’s Fix Nigeria with Atiku group in his residence in Abuja, Atiku disclosed that he has not decided if he would contest in the 2023 election yet.

According to him, Nigeria has not been faced with such multiple challenges even during the civil war.

According to Atiku: “I have never seen this country with so many challenges at the same time. So, sometimes, when I am on my bed, I begin to wonder whether to go for it (contest) or not because the challenges are just too many. In my life, I have never seen Nigeria in such a bad situation.

“As far as the unity of this country is concerned, we are more divided. Even when we fought the Civil War, we were never as divided as this. We never had a breakdown of law and order like this because when we fought the Civil War; it was confined to a particular location, in every other place, there was peace.

“We never had this kind of poverty where even the farmer cannot go to farm the food to eat, not to talk of commercial farming. So, I have never seen this country so bad, and it is going to be a daunting task for anybody to come and turn things around.”
