Former Vice President Atiku has said President Bola Tinubu has made life expensive for Nigerians, a situation he plans to reverse if elected President in 2027.

In a post on X, Atiku lamented that Nigerians now live with the fear of kidnapping, attacks and whether their loved ones will return home safely.

The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress then urged citizens to get their Permanent Voters Card, which is their power to ensure change.

He said, "My fellow Nigerians, young and old, I know the pain you are carrying.

"Parents go to bed worried about what they will feed their children tomorrow. Pensioners must choose between buying medicine and buying food. Young people work hard, yet transport, rent and basic needs consume what they earn. And across the country, families live with the fear of kidnapping, attacks and whether their loved ones will return home safely.

"No family should have to face hunger and insecurity at the same time. We cannot allow this hardship and fear to become the future our children inherit.

"If you are a registered voter, please go and collect your PVC. Hold on to it. It is your voice, your choice and your peaceful power to demand change.

"Bola made life expensive. I will work to make life affordable again and restore the security every Nigerian deserves. Let us stand together, across generations, and vote for a Nigeria where every family can live with dignity, safety and hope."
