The African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has urged registered voters across Nigeria to collect and safeguard their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to demand political change through peaceful democratic participation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement published on his official X account on Wednesday, Atiku strongly criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu, stating that government policies have driven up the cost of living and exacerbated nationwide insecurity.
He however pledged to reverse these trends, restore security, and bring economic relief by making life affordable again if elected into power.
“Bola made life expensive. I will work to make life affordable again and restore the security every Nigerian deserves,” he said.
The former vice-president said Nigerians of different ages and economic backgrounds were grappling with financial hardship and insecurity.
“Parents go to bed worried about what they will feed their children tomorrow. Pensioners must choose between buying medicine and buying food.
“Young people work hard, yet transport, rent and basic needs consume what they earn,” Atiku said
“And across the country, families live with the fear of kidnapping, attacks and whether their loved ones will return home safely,” he added.
Atiku warned that Nigerians should not have to contend with hunger and insecurity at the same time, urging the country to prevent the current challenges from becoming the inheritance of future generations.
He called on eligible voters to collect and keep their PVCs, describing the cards as a means of exercising their democratic rights and seeking change through the ballot.
