Former Vice President of Nigeria and presidential candidate
of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has assured that his
government will allocate ten billion dollars towards youth empowerment and
their education.
He stated this at UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar, when he
addressed mass rally of PDP supporters and members ahead of the presidential
election.
He said, if voted into power, security and the two items
will be the priority of his government.
Atiku said, “We’ll allocate $10billion for the education of our youths and empower them with skills thereby eliminating poverty and criminality. With this, jobs shall be created and insecurity in the country shall reduce drastically.”
He said it was becoming a reality that the country would not
move forward with the current political situations.
Atiku, therefore, promises his government will certainly
restructure the country, adding that this would be treated as a major policy
thrust of his administration.
“We shall move to restructure the country as a major policy
of the incoming PDP government by reducing the powers of the federal government
and giving them to the states and local governments, so that we will hold all
our leaders from all tiers of government responsible for development.
“This will make the Federal Government less powerful and
then a greater powers and resources will be deployed to the state for the good
of our people,” he stated.
“Let me also assure you that with the PDP in charge, your
agricultural produce shall have value with road network to ready markets will
be a priority and Nigeria and people of Cross River State shall smile again.”
He noted that Nigerians have suffered for eight years now
owing to incompetence of the ruling party.
Speaking earlier, National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia
Ayu, called on the people of the state to vote for PDP in order to reclaim
their “stolen” mandate.
