Adamawa At 25: Tough Times Have Brought Out The Best In Us, Says Atiku

Atiku-AbubakarA former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has renewed his commitment to the development of his home state of Adamawa, especially in the aftermath of Boko Haram insurgency.

In a statement issued by his media office to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the creation of Adamawa, the former vice president hailed the efforts of the federal and state governments, international organisations and especially the American University of Nigeria, AUN-Adamawa Peace Initiative to ensure that life returned to normalcy for many citizens of the state who were directly affected by the insurgency.

“We have been through tough times, but the tough times have brought out the best in us”, Mr. Abubakar said.

“We have seen the government and other organisations stretch themselves beyond what we imagined they could achieve and, today, the peace and progress in Adamawa is a testimony to their hard work”.

The Turaki Adamawa assured the state government, the AUN-API and other organisations working for the betterment of life in Adamawa, that they would always have his full support.

He also expressed his personal commitment to the peace and progress of the entire Nigeria, but added that charity must first begin at home.

“I still aim to surpass every contribution I have made to Adamawa and to Nigeria so far”, he said.

“When it comes to the development of state and country, this is certainly not a time to rest on our laurels”.

  1. Very well said Turaki Adamawa…
    We’ve seen what we can achieve if we put aside our differences to fight for a common interest/goal.
    There is always strength in unity, And I believe it’s time to come together for the betterment of our country Nigeria.
