He asserted that Abubakar's presidency would put an end to the economic hardships currently plaguing the country.

Dada emphasised the need for the nation to overcome policy inconsistencies and wastage that hinder prosperity.

He concluded by noting that Abubakar's extensive experience in both private and public sectors uniquely positions him to govern the country effectively, Daily Nigerian reported.

According to Dada, Abubakar strongly advocates for greater devolution of powers to states and local governments, stating that the current structure is not conducive to Nigeria's prosperity.

He said:

"We have previously urged the former Vice-President to run for the presidency in 2027. This appeal is based on the belief that he is the sole candidate capable of challenging and defeating the APC-led government."

However, in another appeal, the Niger Delta Integrity and Justice, NDIJ, canvassed support for former president Dr Goodluck Jonathan as president and Bayelsa state governor, Douye Diri, as vice-president in 2027, Vanguard reported.
