Atiku Abubakar, the former Nigerian Vice-President, and 2023 Presidential aspirant, has declared that if elected as President, he would not tolerate insecurity at all levels. ayokinews.com reports
On Wednesday, Atiku announced his bid to run for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in 2023, while speaking at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
He stated that under his presidential leadership, he would focus and work on five key areas namely; Nigerian unity, security, economy, education, devolution of additional resources and authority to the federating units.
Atiku highlighted that the All Progressive Congress (APC) had grossly failed Nigerians in the aspect of protecting lives and properties.
He made it clear that once elected, he would implore the use of modern technology and intelligence to fight insecurity and also improve the welfare of the country’s security agencies.
“The APC administration has failed in its fundamental responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians. The most significant human right is the right to life, which has not been protected under the APC administration,” he said.
“Our military forces are fighting on the front lines without equipment and morale. That is not fair. If we get into power, we will increase the welfare of all security forces. We will use modern technology and intelligence to combat insecurity. We will also increase the number of personnel for our security agencies.
“Why security? Because national security is the first sign of a functional government, and where it does not exist, we must not blame those who threaten it. We can only blame a government that allows it to be threatened. And if I am elected as your President, insecurity is one thing I will not tolerate.”
