While reflecting on Nigeria’s democratic progress, Atiku also lamented the decline in electoral credibility, which he attributed to the influence of the ruling class.
Despite the challenges, he praised the resilience of patriotic citizens and the support of international allies in safeguarding Nigeria’s democracy.
