A former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubukar has said that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is the only reliable political party in the country, noting that others have brought insecurity, hunger, poverty and unemployment.
During the official opening of the ADC state secretariat in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, Atiku said that the party is ready for a 2027 victory but urged Nigerians to unite to rescue the nation.
He also asked the state residents to take part in the ongoing continuous voter registration exercise, adding that their participation is crucial to reversing Nigeria’s worsening hardship.
‘I am in Taraba to inaugurate our new party office of the ADC, and I want you to hold the party with integrity.
‘Do not allow anybody to deceive you with any other party, because we have tasted other political parties, and they brought nothing but insecurity, hunger, poverty and unemployment.
‘The youths and women should know that we are doing this for them to have a better future, and I am holding on to their promise.
‘ADC will win Taraba state and win Nigeria as the only reliable political party’, the former presidential candidate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said.
Atiku, who formally joined the ADC on Monday—17 months before the 2027 general election—said his experience across political platforms convinced him that the All Progressives Congress, the PDP and other parties lack the capacity to rescue the country.
He resigned from the PDP on 16 July, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ within the opposition party as his reason for leaving.
