Atiku launches 2019 campaign, unveils ‘The Atiku Plan’
Abubakar, has formally launched his campaign for the 2019 presidential
elections.
This was as he officially unveiled his policy document tagged
#TheAtikuPlan, which was launched in an ongoing live broadcast on his
verified Twitter handle on Monday.
According to him, If elected President next year, he would be
pro-active in attracting investments, supporting the 50 million small
and medium scale enterprises across Nigeria for the purpose of
doubling the size of Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product to US$900
billion by 2025.
The former vice president said, "Today, I am formally presenting
myself to you as the presidential candidate of not just the
@OfficialPDPNig, but of the hopes and aspirations of all Nigerians..
"The most important question in this election is: 'Are you better off
than you were four years ago? Are we richer or poorer?' That is why
our primary focus is on getting Nigeria working again.
"I am strongly of the view that I am just one Nigerian and one
Nigerian cannot be as wise as all Nigerians. That is why I will offer
an inclusive leadership.
"Atiku Abubakar is 100% for 100% of Nigerians, 100% of the time.
"Too often, Nigerians have been promised better governance by those
seeking their votes.
"Such individuals have preyed on the legitimate desires of our people
for their conditions to be improved, that they make all sorts of
promises.
"I am not one for making grandiose promises. Rather than promises, I
believe in policies.
"A promise is an indication to do a future action. A policy is a plan
to achieve future goals.
"As the International Monetary Fund stated very recently, it is the
failure of this government to have a coherent and comprehensive set of
policies combined with poor leadership that has led to its failure to
deliver.
"Over the last 18 months, I have worked with the best experts Nigeria
has to offer, to come up with policies and plans that when implemented
will get Nigeria going in the right direction again.
"If elected President, I will be pro-active in attracting investments
and supporting the 50 million small and medium scale enterprises
across Nigeria for the purpose of doubling the size of our Gross
Domestic Product to US$900 billion by 2025," he added.
