Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has advised Nigerians to unite for good governance in 2025.
In a New Year message released on Tuesday, Abubakar asked
Nigerians to be vigilant and closely monitor the actions of political leaders
to hold them accountable.
He said 2025 presents an opportunity to reshape and redefine
the national dialogue and for citizens to actively participate in safeguarding
the nation’s democracy.
Abubakar asked Nigerians to remain resolute in ensuring that
political leaders across party lines are “held accountable and that no one
wields unchecked power that could lead to the erosion of liberties and further
exploitation of public office”.
The former vice-president said “2024 provided a sobering
glimpse into the pressing need for governmental accountability,” noting that
Nigerians sailed through their “arduous trials by God’s grace”.
“The trials of the past year have only served to fortify our
faith. Our unshakable belief in divine protection has been our guiding light,
and it is this same spirit of unwavering faith that will continue to propel us
forward in the coming year,” he said.
“We must ensure that the power entrusted to those in
leadership is never abused and that the claws of an overreaching government are
firmly restrained.”
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023
elections asked Nigerians to “stand ever watchful” in the New Year by guarding
against any encroachment on the public good and the fundamental rights of the
people.
Abubakar expressed optimism that the New Year will “bring a
fresh dawn, sweeping away the many years of national hardships that have
hindered the country’s growth”.
He also prayed for the “revitalisation of the national
economy so that Nigerians may breathe freely once more, liberated from the
suffocating grip of economic hardship”.
Abubakar said Nigerians “must unite in the pursuit of good
governance, standing resolute against any efforts by the ruling elite to divide
the nation along religious and ethnic lines”.
