64th Independence: Atiku Encourages Unity Amidst Nigerians

Mr. Atiku Abubakar urges politicians, statesmen, and other stakeholders to unite in reclaiming Nigeria’s democracy from the threats of oppression.

The Waziri Adamawa also stated that the All Progressives Congress takes advantage of the weaknesses of opposition parties, making them ineffective.

In his Independence Day message to Nigerians on Monday, Atiku called for a united effort to achieve the greatness envisioned by the nation’s esteemed founders.

Nigeria will celebrate its 64th Independence anniversary on October 1.

The former Vice President said, “Our political milieu has become corrosive; opposition parties languish in weakness, while the ruling party appears to manipulate internal processes to render them ineffectual. Nigeria teeters on the brink of a one-party dictatorship, and it is incumbent upon all politicians and statesmen of integrity to rise and reclaim our democracy from the encroaching shadows of oppression.”

Atiku stressed that the 64th Independent anniversary milestone is not just a celebration but a recognition of the indomitable spirit and steadfast determination of Nigerians who firmly believe in the potential of their country.

The statement added, “Our nation has traversed numerous tumultuous phases, yet the tenacity of patriotic citizens, bolstered by the solidarity of our international allies, has fortified our resolve as a resilient entity.
