Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has dismissed claims that he is desperate to become Nigeria’s president. Speaking on Saturday, Atiku said his focus is not on personal ambition but on the need to rescue the country from its present state. He was reacting to those who believe he should step aside for younger politicians.

The 2023 presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who has often faced criticism over his repeated attempts at the presidency, stressed that his desire to contest has never been about desperation. Atiku made the remarks through Prof. Ola Olateju while serving as guest speaker at an event in Lagos State, where some leaders of the PDP and Labour Party officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He explained that his vision is to build a country Nigerians everywhere would be proud of, noting that leadership should be about service and progress, not personal gain. “It is not about Atiku having to be president at all costs,” he said.

He also described the ADC as more than just a political party, but a growing movement of Nigerians determined to end poor governance and set the nation on the path of growth and greatness.

It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
