Former Nigerian Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) leader Atiku Abubakar apologised for his participation in creating the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014 during a press conference in Abuja on February 26, 2026.
Speaking to journalists with microphones from various media sites, Atiku expressed concern about the country’s political and economic destiny, warning of a possible democratic breakdown.
“We did this exercise in 2014. Not so? We came together and formed APC because we felt democracy was faulty in 2014, only for us to end up in the same position we found ourselves in in 2014, worse,” he said, gesturing emphatically.
Atiku cited deteriorating security and economic issues under the present administration, claiming the situation has worsened since 2014.
“Because 2014, the major challenge was insecurity here and there, the economy, and so on and so forth. Now, it’s even worse than what we fought in 2014,” he added.
He warned of far-reaching ramifications for Africa, highlighting Nigeria’s status as the continent’s largest democracy.
“The collapse of democracy in Nigeria is going to lead to the collapse of democracy in Africa because we are the largest democracy in Africa. We must make sure we restore true democracy to our country,” Atiku stated, underscoring the urgency of political reforms and civic engagement to safeguard democratic principles.
