“I Regret Forming APC To Oust Jonathan — Nigeria Is Worse Off Today” — Atiku Drops Bombshell. Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed deep regret over his role in the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014, saying the decision to unseat former President Goodluck Jonathan has not produced the better Nigeria many had hoped for.Speaking on the state of the nation, Atiku reportedly admitted that he was among the political leaders who came together to form the APC with the primary aim of removing Jonathan from power during the 2015 general elections. According to him, the promise of change that was sold to Nigerians at the time has not translated into improved living conditions for the average citizen.His comments come amid growing concerns over the country’s economic hardship, insecurity, inflation, and rising cost of living under the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.Many Nigerians have continued to lament the skyrocketing prices of food, fuel, electricity, and transportation, with critics arguing that governance has not met the expectations set during the APC’s rise to power. Atiku’s statement is seen by some as a rare admission from a key political actor involved in the 2014 coalition that reshaped Nigeria’s political landscape.The APC was formed through a merger of major opposition parties ahead of the 2015 elections, a move that ultimately led to Jonathan’s defeat — the first time an incumbent president lost re-election in Nigeria’s history.Political observers say Atiku’s remarks may further intensify debates about accountability, leadership, and the direction Nigeria is heading as the 2027 elections draw closer.As reactions pour in across the country, many Nigerians are asking: Is this an honest reflection, or just another political strategy ahead of 2027?
