Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has launched the ‘Ask AA’ portal, an information and citizen-engagement platform designed to give Nigerians direct access to ask questions about his political agenda, public service record and plans for the country.
The initiative was announced in a statement signed by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council, on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
According to the statement, the free-access platform will go live at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, allowing Nigerians to submit questions on issues including the economy, security, technology, job creation and Atiku’s plans to make life more affordable.
Atiku is expected to respond personally to questions submitted through the portal, while members of his media team will also assist in providing answers.
The statement said the technology-powered platform was designed to bridge the information gap between voters and the ADC presidential candidate by making it easier for citizens to engage with him and access information about his positions and policy proposals.
“The objective of this initiative is to bring Atiku Abubakar closer to the electorate through a practical, problem-solving platform,” Shaibu said.
He added that the initiative reflected Atiku’s commitment to using modern technology to make government more efficient, secure and effective.

Announcing the initiative on his social media accounts, Atiku said he developed the platform because he believes that “leadership is a two-way conversation.”
He said, “For too long, governance has felt distant—locked behind walls of bureaucracy. But our country’s greatest resource isn’t oil or land; it is our people. If we are going to build the Nigeria of our dreams, we must start by tearing down the walls between leaders and the people.
“That is why I am launching Ask AA—a direct citizen-engagement platform built for transparency, accountability and dialogue. No filters, no intermediaries.
“Whether you want to question my economic record, discuss my policy plans for technology, security and job creation, or share your own recommendations for national progress, nothing is off the table. I want to hear your questions, your policy critiques and your best ideas.”
The former vice president also said he would personally contact some participants who provide their phone numbers through the platform to hear directly about their experiences and concerns.
“Beyond answering questions here, I will personally call selected citizens who leave their contact details so I can hear directly about their experiences and the issues affecting their daily lives,” he said.
Atiku further stressed the importance of accountability and citizen engagement in governance, saying, “A transparent, technology-driven government is not a promise for tomorrow. It begins with how we listen to you today.”
He concluded his announcement by inviting Nigerians to participate in the initiative, saying, “I’m logged in and ready. If you could ask me one question, what would it be?”
