Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared that he has no regrets over his role in opposing the alleged third-term agenda of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, insisting that his actions were in the best interest of Nigeria's democracy.
Responding to recent comments attributed to the former president, Atiku maintained that standing against the proposed constitutional amendment was a principled decision aimed at protecting democratic governance and preserving the country's constitutional order.
