Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has hinted at taking another shot at the Presidency.
Atiku, who ran against ex-President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019, and challenged President Bola Tinubu in 2023, gave the indication when he received a delegation led by former Minister Idris Abdullahi.
He had said stealing and any form of corrupt practice will have no place in the government he leads.
In a video he shared on his X handle, Atiku said “enough is enough”.
He said, “We will decisively deal with anyone who says he will steal or engage in any corrupt practice. We will fight him, I swear. Enough is enough! Every nation is progressing but Nigeria’s growth is hindered by a few elements.”
“That was why we ensured that our interim leadership structure is a composition of people with proven integrity and honesty. And it is from this that you can tell what will be the style of our leadership.”
In a post accompanying the video, Atiku stressed that Nigerians cannot continue to suffer because of bad governance.
“Nigerians cannot continue to suffer amidst an abundance of resources owing to bad governance,” stressing that the coalition of opposition leaders under the umbrella of African Democratic Congress (ADC) would work hard to transform the lives of Nigerians.
