Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has called on the opposition parties in Nigeria to come together and form a formidable front to protect the country’s democracy.
Atiku, who was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 presidential election, said this when he played host to the national executive committee of the Inter-Party Advisory Council Nigeria (IPAC), led by its National President, Yabagi Sani.
He lamented that the All Progressives Congress, APC is turning Nigeria’s democracy into a one-party system.
Atiku said if the situation is not challenged in unison, democracy in the country will suffer for it, and the consequences of it will affect the generations yet unborn.
He also accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC of conducting poor elections, including discrepancies in voter numbers.
The former Vice President also called for the National Assembly to prioritize constitutional and electoral reforms, in particular electronic voting reforms, to ensure transparent elections and protect our democracy.
A cross section of callers on our breakfast program, The Big Story reacted to the claim by Atiku.
