Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is set to visit the United States to address Nigeria's escalating security issues, economic decline, and governance failures. He describes the situation as a 'full-blown internal crisis,' marked by rampant violence in the North-West and North-East, persistent bloodshed in the Middle Belt, and a surge in kidnapping nationwide. Atiku emphasizes that the Nigerian government is failing in its fundamental duty to protect lives and property. He also points to rising inflation, currency depreciation, and declining purchasing power as critical economic challenges facing the nation. Atiku rejects claims that his international engagement invites foreign interference, asserting that Nigeria's issues have broader implications. He urges the current administration to prioritize security and economic recovery while calling for accountability from citizens. The fragmentation of the opposition coalition further complicates Nigeria's political landscape as the country approaches the 2027 elections.
