Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has expressed regret over his role in the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014, saying the country’s situation has worsened under the current administration.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Atiku recalled how opposition leaders came together in 2014 to form a united political front to address what they believed were growing challenges under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“We did this exercise in 2014, not so? We came together and formed APC because we felt democracy was faltering, only for us to end up at the same position we found ourselves in 2014 worse,” he said.
According to him, the major concerns at the time included insecurity and economic instability.
However, he argued that the current situation had surpassed those earlier challenges.
“In 2014, the major challenges were insecurity, the economy and so on. Now it is even worse than what we fought against,” Atiku stated.
