Atiku Pledges Strong Anti-corruption Fight if Elected

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has pledged to take a strong stance against corruption if elected president in 2027, vowing to punish anyone found engaging in corrupt activities.

Addressing supporters, Abubakar emphasized that Nigeria’s slow progress is largely due to corrupt individuals holding the country back.

Abubakar’s statement comes as he hints at running for the presidency in 2027 under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition. The former vice president has faced scrutiny over his past involvement in corruption scandals, including allegations of deploying shell companies to secure federal contracts.

Abubakar’s promise to tackle corruption has sparked debate among Nigerians, with some questioning his credibility given his own history with corruption allegations. Despite these concerns, Abubakar remains a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, and his potential presidential bid has generated significant interest.

As the 2027 election approaches, Abubakar’s stance on corruption is likely to be a major talking point, with many Nigerians eager to see how he plans to follow through on his promises and address the country’s deep-seated corruption issues.
