Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Hauwa Atiku Uwais, daughter of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has promised to support the aspiration of her father “if and when” he declares interest to run for the office of the President of Nigeria again.

Hauwa stated this in Abuja yesterday in her opening remarks at the second edition of Conversation with Hauwa; a pan-Nigeria talk show on how to make the country better.

Bemoaning the state of affairs in the land, Mrs. Hauwa Atiku Uwais urged Nigerians to get involved in conversations aimed at birthing the Nigeria of their dream.

Attended by security experts, politicians including member representing Lokoja/Kogi federal constituency, Hon. Shaba Ibrahim and youth leaders, the conversations centered on the deplorable state of the nation, particularly the growing insecurity across the country.

She said: “Make no mistake about it! I will support my father if and when he declares to run for office but this gathering is bigger than that. This is a clarion call on behalf of all Nigerians. Enough of permutations! How can we be so blessed yet, suffer so much?”

Explaining the rationale for the gathering, the eloquent convener said, “We are here to deepen engagements with fellow citizens who feel we can do better as a nation collectively. There is a fire burning inside my belly. I am here to collaborate with you to burn down the chain that hold us collectively captive.

“Admitted or not, there are some bridges in life that must be burn if the destiny of the nation is to be unleashed. There are roads that lead nowhere and the very foundations of those dead ends are what we are here to raise down once and for all and build a foundation for a new Nigeria.

“The gap between the haves and the haves-not is growing exponentially by the day. Poverty levels are at an all-time high with the population of Nigerians in abject poverty being the highest per capital in the world. And to cap it all, the level of insecurity of lives and properties is at a level that has never been witnessed in the nation’s 60 years of existence.

“I agree that Nigeria has never fully fulfil her potentials but she has equally never been this horrible and only one without genuine conscience will dismiss the fact that many Nigerians are living in despair and despondency.”

vicinity are at the mercy of the elements.”

According to her, no one is wealthy enough to lend assistance to all those in need saying,

“You can try and help but the truth is that without a system that is designed to create equitable opportunities for citizens, most of the assistance you render is like water in the basket. It is never enough to quench everybody’s thirst.

“But rather staying in a cocoon and cry about it, I have set out to discuss with the common man because I am a common Nigerian too. I did what most entrepreneurs did. I trained myself in the venture that I wanted to embark upon which is pastry and baking . I started from home like most businesses and expanded gradually.”

She also called on Nigerians to imbibe the lesson of hard work in their children.

“I wake up every morning with a sense of pride so that my daughters and son will grow up to know the value of striving to earn a decent living through hard work and enterprise other than birthright,” she added.
