Atiku Support Organisation-ASO

Press statement

Democracy is Losing Its Taste Under the Tinubu-Led APC Government, says Atiku Support Organisation - A*O.

As Nigeria commemorates June 12, the Tinubu-led APC government is tarnishing Democracy Day’s legacy. Democratic values—freedom of speech, press, and assembly—are under siege. Journalists face harassment, activists are silenced, and peaceful protests are brutally suppressed, signaling a dangerous drift toward authoritarianism. Judicial independence and the rule of law are eroded, betraying the sacrifices made for Nigeria’s democracy.

The economy is in disarray due to gross mismanagement. The abrupt fuel subsidy removal has driven inflation, making essentials unaffordable. Naira devaluation and unemployment devastate small businesses, compounded by unreliable power and excessive taxation. Nigeria’s debt, now projected to balloon to N198 trillion, shackles future generations with no clear repayment strategy.

The government’s extravagant spending amid widespread poverty is indefensible. Corruption thrives as public funds are siphoned off, deepening public distrust and fueling unrest.

We demand the urgent restoration of democratic freedoms and economic stability. The administration must uphold citizens’ rights, ensure judicial autonomy, and tackle the escalating debt crisis with transparent, sustainable policies.

On this Democracy Day, we reject the APC’s assault on our values. Nigerians deserve a government that honors June 12 with true democracy and prosperity. Accountability and change are non-negotiable. We all must be ready to chase the failed Tinubu-led APC government out of office in 2027.

H.E. Nasir El Rufai and H.E. Peter Obi engaged in a private conversation at St. John's College, University of Cambridge. The coalition of the willing is preparing for a dogfight against Tinubu and the APC. Saving Nigeria remains the top priority.

Joy is coming, guys. Don't lose hope yet. Nigeria will be great again

In just 2 years, Bola Tinubu APC government has crashed almost 50% of Nigeia's economy. GDP crumbles from $363bn in 2023 to $188bn in 2025. The economy is on fire.

If Tinubu wins in 2027, there will be a massive economic disaster in Nigeria. By every means, we must work together to reject this calamitous government.
