The presidential candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has promised to rebuild Northern Nigeria if elected president in 2027.
Atiku made the pledge on Saturday in response to a supporter who described him as the last hope for the region.
Taking to X, Yohanna Nuhu said, “@Atiku, sir, you are the last hope many of us in Northern Nigeria are holding on to. Our region has lost its way, and we seem to be drifting towards a dangerous future. Don Allah, sir, do whatever you can to help salvage Nigeria and Northern Nigeria. We are praying for you.”
Responding, Atiku said he shares the concerns about insecurity, poverty and fear now gripping many northern communities.

He said, “Thank you, Yohanna, for these heartfelt words and for your prayers. I hear you, and I share your concern. Our North was once a land of farms, markets, and schools that fed and educated a nation; today too many of our communities live with insecurity, poverty, and fear. No one should pretend that everything is fine, because it is not.”
Atiku said rebuilding the North is central to his reason for contesting the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
“That is precisely why I am in this race. I will end the insecurity that has driven our people from their farms, bring down the cost of living that is crushing families, and open opportunity for our young people through education, enterprise, and jobs. The North will not be left to drift; it will be rebuilt, and Nigeria with it,” the former Vice President stated.
