Former Vice-President Says Meeting Highlighted Need to Prioritise Nigerians’ Welfare
Former First Lady Aisha Buhari has visited former Vice-President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate for the 2027 election, Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku disclosed the visit in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, describing the meeting with Aisha as warm and deeply appreciated.
He said the visit also underscored the responsibility of those seeking a better Nigeria to prioritise the welfare, dignity and future of citizens.
Atiku said families across the country were facing increasing pressure from the rising cost of food, transportation, education, healthcare and other basic necessities.
According to him, Nigerians deserve an economy that rewards hard work, restores opportunities and enables families to live with dignity and hope.
The former Vice-President said building such a country would require collective efforts to reduce the economic burden on citizens and restore hope.
“That is the Nigeria we must build together, a country that works for its people again. We must ease the burden, restore hope and make Nigeria Affordable Again,” he said.
