The Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has said that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is the only political party that can salvage Nigeria from its current economic and security woes.

He was speaking during the inauguration of the Taraba State office of the ADC in Jalingo, the state capital.

According to the former vice president, he and other politicians have tasted membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and other political parties and realised that they do not have what it takes to take Nigeria out of its current quagmire.

He made the claims following his official defection to the party on Monday, just 17 months before the 2027 general elections.

Before joining the coalition, the former VP had been a high-profile member of the PDP.

He, however, left the opposition party on July 16, citing irreconcilable differences that had emerged within the former ruling party.

The politician also called on Taraba residents to come out in their numbers and register for the ongoing continuous voter registration if they truly want to save themselves from the current economic and security woes of the country.

”I am in Taraba to inaugurate our new party office of the ADC, and I want you to hold the party with integrity.”

”Do not allow anybody to deceive you with any other party, because we have tasted other political parties and they brought nothing but insecurity, hunger, poverty, unemployment.”

” The youths and women should know that we are doing this for them to have a better future, and I am holding on to their promise.”

” ADC will win Taraba state, win Nigeria as the only reliable political party.”
