Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has declared that the state of governance in Nigeria has kept many older politicians active in national politics longer than expected.
NOP NIGERIA reports that he revealed this in an interview with SYMFONI TV.
The former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate said that Nigeria’s current situation compares with what it should look like under proper leadership.
He explained that if the country had been well managed over the years, many senior political figures would have stepped away from active politics to rest and allow younger leaders to take over.
According to him, the challenges in governance have made it difficult.
He added that their continued presence in politics is not driven by personal interest, but by the need to push for better leadership, stronger systems, and respect for the country’s constitution.
He said, “Nigeria has suffered from years of poor governance, and that is why many of us are still active in politics longer than we planned.
“Our continued presence in politics is not about personal ambition or gain. We remain in politics because we want to push for better leadership in the country. We are working toward stronger governance and a system that respects the constitution.”
