Atiku flags off presidential race
Former Vice-Presiden Atiku Abubakar flagged off the race for the 2019 presidential election in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, on Tuesday.
Speaking at an event chaired by Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, Abubakar pledged his commitment towards the creation of a new Nigeria built on the foundation of industrialisation and economic revolution.
He said the problem of Nigeria is not the lack of resources or skilled manpower but the lack of leadership.
Wike and Atiku
Abubakar appealed to Wike to support him in his bid to lead the country.
Responding, Wike said the position of president is for an individual with experience and track record for excellence.
He said Atiku posses the qualities needed to make Nigeria great.
The event had in attendance Gbenga Daniel, former governor of Ogun state; Okwesilieze Nwodo, former chairman of the PDP; and Michael Aondoakaa, former attorney-general.
We have seen a man who is always ready for growth and development from all spheres of life regardless of tribe and religion. And until we as Nigerians have this mentality we can’t grow. We have to give credit to Atiku for this good gesture and understanding.
When you study Atiku you know he is one who shuns favoritism and segregation because he is the people’s man. Doesn’t care about race,tribe or religion. He has always fought for equality amongst the Nigerian people and showed that in leading by example.
Atiku Abubakar is an elder statesman who always try to actualize the dream of Nigerians through his experience in politicking, economic plans looking at what he does in his investments and how he provide jobs opportunities to the Nigerians is all enough for us to vote for him to steer this nation to the right path.
Atiku will initiate economic policies that will lift Nigerians out of poverty and recession since the incumbent govt have failed to do so. Nigerians are already starved by hunger
Atiku Abubakar’s job creation skills at his businesses will be brought to bear in creating jobs and opportunities especially for the youth and this is all enough for us to vote for him looking how Nigerians are losing their jobs due to how this govt handle our economy.
This failed administration have brought us hatred, nepotism, sectionalism and regionalism where there are so much hate among Nigerians, the cabals have favored one part of the country while the other parts are left with nothing. We need leaders that will promote our unity, peace and love among Nigerians and not those that promote division and sectionalism. Atiku Abubakar is a well known leader in terms of his love for one Nigeria. And we have never had him making a hate speeches unlike other leaders.
