The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku 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.
