Atiku Presidential Campaign Office

I’m deeply saddened by the loss of our soldiers in these attacks and ask for the support and prayers of all Nigerians for our military in this war against ISWAP & Boko Haram.

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. #TheAtikuPlan

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. #TheAtikuPlan

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. #TheAtikuPlan

Atiku Abubakar is 100% for 100% of Nigerians, 100% of the time. #TheAtikuPlan

A promise is an indication to do a future action. A policy is a plan to achieve future goals. #TheAtikuPlan

I am not one for making grandiose promises. Rather than promises, I believe in policies. #TheAtikuPlan

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. #TheAtikuPlan

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. #TheAtikuPlan

I am not talking about what I can do. I am talking of what I have done before. #TheAtikuPlan

I was Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007 and in that time, I chaired the National Economic Council that gave Nigeria her highest and most consistent GDP growth of over 6% per annum. #TheAtikuPlan

Despite the fact that crude oil prices at that time were much lower than they are today, under the dynamic leadership of President Olusegun Obasanjo, we paid off Nigeria’s entire foreign debt. #TheAtikuPlan

We also introduced the GSM revolution that saw Nigeria go from 100,000 phone lines to over 100 million today. We were able to achieve these, and much more, because we had a plan. #TheAtikuPlan

That plan worked and today I have the pleasure of unveiling our policies and strategies to take Nigeria from where she is now, to where she needs to be. #TheAtikuPlan

My plan will give Nigerian workers a living wage. #TheAtikuPlan

My plan will give Nigeria’s youth a world-class education. #TheAtikuPlan

My plan will empower Nigerian women, reduce maternal mortality and increase their financial stability. #TheAtikuPlan

My plan will cater for the elderly, so our people are not afraid of growing old. #TheAtikuPlan

But above all, my plan will help create jobs because in my many travels across our great nation the one consistent thing I hear wherever I am is that our people need jobs. #TheAtikuPlan
