Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is campaigning ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 election, urging citizens to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). In his remarks, he frames the election as a choice over Nigeria’s current security situation and the cost of living, saying families face fears of kidnapping and attacks and struggle to manage everyday expenses.
Across the reports, Atiku criticises President Bola Tinubu’s administration for rising living costs and insecurity. He promises that an Atiku-led government would make life more affordable and deliver economic relief, alongside improved security. The outlets also note that Atiku positions himself as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate and uses the PVC message as an appeal for voter readiness and participation.
