The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has assured Nigerians that its presidential candidate and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, “will provide a physically present and responsive Presidency” if elected in 2027.

Speaking on the backdrop of the continued absence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from Nigeria due to his ongoing vacation, the ADC PCC said Atiku would not be an “absentee President” who is unavailable when the challenges confronting Nigerians require a presidential attention.

Director of Media and Publicity of the PCC, Kola Ologbondiyan, gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja while receiving the leadership of the Atiku Unity Movement (AUM), led by its leader, Hon. Francis Eburuwe.

Ologbondiyan said Atiku had consistently demonstrated an understanding of Nigeria’s economic and social challenges and had proposed policy interventions aimed at addressing them.

He recalled that during the 2023 presidential campaign, Atiku advocated a phased approach to the withdrawal of fuel subsidy, arguing that the process should not impose excessive pressure on Nigerians.

According to him, the experience of the past three years has reinforced the need for a presidency that is “accessible, responsive and capable of taking timely decisions in the national interest.
