Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is set to travel to the United States to draw international attention to Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, economic challenges, and governance issues.
According to sources close to the development, Atiku plans to engage policymakers, members of the international community, and stakeholders during the visit, highlighting concerns over rising violence, economic hardship, and what he describes as declining governance standards.
The former presidential candidate is expected to use the platform to advocate for stronger global awareness and possible support in addressing Nigeria’s multifaceted crises. His planned engagements may include meetings with think tanks, diaspora groups, and policy institutions.
The move is likely to generate political reactions at home, particularly from supporters of the current administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as debates over the country’s direction continue ahead of the 2027 elections.
While critics may view the trip as an attempt to internationalize domestic political issues, supporters argue it reflects the need for broader engagement on challenges affecting Africa’s most populous nation.
Further details of Atiku’s itinerary have not yet been officially disclosed.
