They noted he has the capacity and pedigree to restore the dwindling economy and halt the chronic insecurity as well as uniting the country for progress and prosperity.

They made the assertion over the weekend at Ibom E-Library Uyo during a National Town hall meetings organised by Atiku Kawai media group.

Speaking in a keynote address at the occasion, Obong Ide Owodiong Idemeko, the international President of 1001+voices initiative for peoples empowerment on the theme: “Making a Case For National Unity and Prosperity” explained that our ability or inability to achieve National Unity has been the bane and a critical measure of how we have progressed as a nation, regardless of other objective socio-political and economic factors that in themselves drive the rather subjective outcomes that we define as National Disunity”.

According to him, “We can’t make progress if we do not come together to forge a common identity as One Nigeria and One People with One Destiny. Present challenges we face across the nation can all be traced in large measure to the failure of governance in getting all Nigerians to work for the betterment of the nation and ensuring that justice and equity is the bedrock of engagements between the various ethno-nationalities and social classes.”

Ide Owodiong Idemeko, a 2023 Governorship Hopeful in Akwa ibom state traced the real cause of the jaundiced development in Nigeria to poor leadership and governance urging Nigerians to use the forthcoming 2023 elections, the second successive peaceful transition of power in the country’s history to usher in a new government that will rescue the country from the abyss that it has fallen into in the past 7 years.

“It is therefore imperative that we open our eyes and identify leaders who are experienced, competent, bold and can confidently chart the course of a new Nigeria by reaching out to all segments of our country to achieve an inclusive and collaborative approach to the myriad of problems facing us as a country and a people”.

He further intoned, ”Ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar has promised to lead in the front and to confront boldly some of the ‘no-go’ areas of Nigeria’s political history such as restructuring the federal principles on which our lopsided federal structure is anchored, and which is a major source of disunity and lack of prosperity. Nigerians have passed through a real tumultuous moment and need Atiku Abubakar to stabilize it. He has what it takes to provide the right leadership for the country.”

In his welcome address, Mr AbdulRasheed Shehu founder of Atiku Kawai media group explained that Nigeria today is in a state of constant decline in Unity, Economy, Education, Opportunities and many more with national cohesion diminishing stressing that it has become important and an act of patriotism to make a case for National Unity & Prosperity.

His statement read, “Today, our Nation is in need of a Leader, who is a symbol of National Unity and a rallying point of all the people of our country.

“A man who is seen by all to be detribalized more than all else. Nigeria needs a leader with proven capacity to fix the current challenges facing the nation such as fix the economy, create employment opportunities for our young people eradicate poverty, improve the educational sector at all levels and most importantly, Unite Nigerians”.

Shehu said, “With the recent declaration of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar to contest the presidential election in the 2023 General Election, it has become incumbent on us to go round the geopolitical zones of this country to spread his message of Unity & Prosperity.

“Atiku Abubakar is one of the best products of our nation. He remains a unifying figure with an excellent record of excellence. In both public service and the other private sector one of the largest employers of youths and women in the country. We believe if he has the capacity to do it both in government and the business sector, then he can succeed once again and usher in a new dawn for Nigeria as the President in 2023.”

The panel of discussants at the event which included Shehu showunmi, Prince Olatuni Olusoji, Hon Divine Onyekachi and Vicky Heldan during the interactive sessions with Nigerians threw more light on the series of achievements of the former vice president in both public and private sectors and urge Nigerians to rally round Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to stop the country from economic implosion and chronic insecurity bedeviling the nation while ushering in a new dawn.
