Checking out 'Nigeria59: All is not well with Nigeria, Atiku cries out' on The Nation Newspaper Community:
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has decried what he described as an attack on the judiciary and absence of press freedom in the country.
“All is not well when judges are persecuted for enforcing the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental human rights of Nigerian citizens,” he said in his Independence Day message. The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party explained that he could go with the flow and say all was well with the country or called for prayers like other leaders.
Rather than just call for prayers, he asked Nigerians to believe in and work for the nation’s betterment. According to him, the traditional ruler spoke about why more attention must be paid to the issue of girl-child education. Atiku also commended the Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema, and the airline for their role in the repatriation of hundreds of Nigerians who were victims of the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
