Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says his presidential ambition on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform represents a movement.

Mr Abubakar, in a statement on his X handle on Thursday, made the declaration after submitting his nomination and expression-of-interest forms. 

He said that with the submission of his forms, his bid to restore prosperity and bring better days to Nigeria had taken a firm and decisive step forward. 

He said, “The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today. This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair. 

“I call on all Nigerians, regardless of region, faith or background, to join us in this noble cause. Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again.” 

Mr Abubakar called on all Nigerians to unite in the effort to restore the country’s pride.
