Atiku Abubakar

Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) presidential candidate for 2023, has urged Nigerians to be ready to steer the nation away from uncertainty and toward a normalcy of safety.

In his statement, he urged people to observe Nigeria's 63rd Independence Day.

According to him, Nigeria's political independence came about 63 years ago on the promise of great prosperity and the idea of social fairness.

Atiku declared, "As a nation, we have continued to struggle to manifest the dreams of our founding fathers in upholding the promises of shared prosperity and social justice.

"We have encountered great moments when the flag of our dear country flew tall on the global stage through the industry of our sportsmen and women, the prolific distinction of our academia, and the top-notch artistry of Nigerian talents in the global music scene.

"Therefore, for me, the challenge before us all is in ensuring that the political leadership in the country that we call home should be worthy of our pride as a people and not of telling embarrassment.

"Our democracy has triumphed so far due to the fidelity of our conviction that a democracy, when properly nurtured, should bring out the best in us and of us.

"As Nigerians, we are all not unfamiliar with the hardships in the economy, security, and other vital aspects of our society.

"While I enjoin us all to submit our strengths in faith to the Almighty God, we must be prepared to do our best to pull the country back from this point of uncertainty to a place of common safety."
