2027: Security will be restored across Nigeria if I am elected president, Atiku pledges

African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has pledged to restore security across Nigeria if elected president in 2027. He made the promise Wednesday at the launch of his campaign in Sokoto and urged voters to support the party. A day earlier, Atiku accused the Sokoto State Government and security operatives of trying to disrupt the rally, alleging that the DSS was recruiting protesters. The DSS ordered an investigation and said the claims were inconsistent with its operations, noting that it had provided protection to political figures across party lines.
