Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar
has urged the Fderal Government to
brace up to the challenges of
leadership by meeting the needs of
the people.
Government, he said, should stop
taking Nigerians for granted,
describing the current poverty level in
the country as unacceptable.
Abubakar gave the advice in a New
Year message sent out by his media
office in Abuja on Monday.
Abubakar said it has become
expedient for leaders in political
offices at different levels to brace up
to the challenges of nation-building
and economic prosperity for the
nation and its people.
He described as unacceptable the
worsening poverty in the country,
which, he noted, is daily taking its toll
on the ordinary citizens.
The former Vice President added that
leaders should not take the continued
patience of the Nigerian people for
granted.
“With hard work and dedication,
elected leaders and public servants
can rise to the expected challenges of
national development and economic
prosperity to redress the deepening
poverty of ordinary Nigerians in 2014.
“Public office holders should not take
the magnanimity of the Nigerian
people for granted,’’ Abubakar said.
He also congratulated Nigerians on
the New Year and urged them to face
the future with optimism that the year
will bring good tidings.
He thanked God for keeping Nigeria
together despite its myriad of
security, political and socio-
economic challenges.
“Despite our challenges in the area of
security, infrastructure, politics and
economy, I am grateful to God for
keeping us together as one.
“It is my hope that we all will face the
future of our country with confidence
and fervent hope that God will grant
us the better tomorrow we are
working for,’’ he said.
