Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is set to visit the United States to draw international attention to Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, economic hardship, and declining governance standards.

Atiku’s Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, made this disclosure in a statement on Sunday, noting that the ex-Vice President, during his forthcoming engagement, will speak with policy and institutional stakeholders in the US.

The statement stressed that Nigeria is facing a full-blown internal crisis that can no longer be downplayed or politicised.

“From the ravaging violence in the North-West and North-East, to the persistent bloodshed in the Middle Belt, and the growing spread of kidnapping and criminality across the country, Atiku warns that the Nigerian state is steadily losing its grip on its most fundamental responsibility: the protection of lives and property.

“According to him, the situation has moved beyond isolated incidents to a pattern of systemic failure. Communities are being overrun, livelihoods destroyed, and citizens abandoned to their fate.

“He argues that any government that cannot guarantee basic security forfeits the moral basis of its mandate,” the statement read.
