Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged Nigerians to vote out the ruling party, warning that the country risks a bleak future if the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains in power.
Speaking on Wednesday during an interview on Arise TV Prime Time, Atiku said Nigerians must take decisive action if they want change.
“My final message to the Nigerian people is they should vote out APC if they want their future. If they don’t, it’s going to be a disaster. I don’t see the pathway to a brighter future for Nigeria in APC. Certainly not,” he said.
Also speaking, Atiku dismissed concerns about the financial strength of the ruling party and its ability to influence elections, insisting that public support matters more than money.
“I don’t have their kind of money, but the power of the people is there. I’m not worried about their financial muscle,” he said.
Atiku also alleged that the APC relies on public funds, suggesting that voters can still make independent choices at the polls.
“They are using public money, and the public can take the money and do what they want,” he said.
Responding to questions about his personal wealth, Atiku said he built his business empire long before entering politics.
“I was already in business, in oil and gas logistics, agriculture, and other sectors before I joined politics,” he said.
“I even virtually set up and funded the PDP, yet nobody accused me of corruption at that time. I wouldn’t say I am a very wealthy man. I’m comfortable,” he added.
