Atiku Abubakar, standard-bearer of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), says bad governance under the current administration is making
Nigerians leave for other countries.
Atiku said this at a meeting held with the stakeholders of
the south-east PDP on Tuesday, in Enugu.
While delivering his address, Atiku said he would prioritise
human capital development and quality education to enable young people to
compete in the modern economy.
“In the government in which I served as Vice President, you
saw Nigerians returning from abroad to invest in several opportunities in the
country. Because I experienced it in my university. When I made sure I provide
international standards, so many Nigerians from the United States and Europe
came back not to Lagos or Abuja but to north east Yola. They came back. All
what we need to do is to make sure we make our country attractive for them to
return and they will return,” he said.
“Under the APC, the
trend has since reversed. People cannot wait to run away from Nigeria. All of
you have relatives, children who are running away to United States, Canada. I
have my own. I have refused anyone of them to go to abroad and reside because I
don’t believe it. We have to stay in this country.”
The former vice-president said he would ensure there is
quality healthcare for the people.
“We shall also provide good quality healthcare system that
focuses on preventive care. We shall therefore make massive investment in this
critical area. A well-educated and healthy workforce is critical for economy
and wealth creation in today’s world,” he said.
The campaigns for the 2023 polls begin officially today.
