Atiku made the pledge in his address delivered on Thursday at the ADC headquarters in Abuja to commemorate Nigeria’s 66th Independence anniversary.
He promised to support prompt publication of results from every polling unit and ensure electoral offenders faced the law, regardless of party affiliation.
The presidential candidate said anyone caught buying votes or altering election results would face prosecution, stressing that every Nigerian’s vote must count as cast.
He urged Nigerians to protect their votes, reject intimidation and carefully question every candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, Nigerians should demand detailed plans that could be examined and promises whose implementation could be objectively measured.
“The coming election offers us a peaceful way to choose our course. This country is yours,” Atiku said.
He also promised that, if elected, his administration would prioritise affordability and protection of lives as central components of governance.
He said his administration would work to reduce the cost of food, fuel and electricity while improving access to healthcare and education.
The former vice president also pledged to restore security to communities facing insecurity and ensure accountability in public spending.
He said government performance would be measured by Nigerians’ ability to afford basic necessities and live safely in their communities.
Atiku said his administration would introduce a capped and budgeted production subsidy tied to verified fuel refined locally, including modular refineries.
He said imported petrol would not qualify for the proposed subsidy, adding that the benefit would reach consumers through lower pump prices.
“We will publish the costs, independently audit the payments and cut government waste to help fund the programme,” Atiku said.
