Breaking: Atiku Abubakar Warns Against State-Meddling In Traditional Leadership-Appointments (Text)

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed deep concern over the growing trend of state governments meddling in the processes of appointing traditional leaders.

Atiku, who contested as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the last election, underscored the need to protect traditional institutions from undue interference by state authorities.

In a statement released on Tuesday via his official platform, Atiku highlighted the destabilizing effects caused by state intervention in community governance structures.

He advocated for constitutional reforms aimed at formally recognizing traditional institutions and outlining their roles clearly.
