Atiku talks about how he’ll end insecurity in South-East
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday, said that his administration if elected the next president of Nigeria, would end insecurity ravaging the southeastern part of the country.
Atiku who spoke in Owerri, the Imo State capital, during the PDP presidential campaign rally in the state, said his administration would give the Igbo people a sense of belonging.
The former Vice President said that his administration would engage with the Igbo youths, especially on the issue of restructuring and uniting all parts of the country.
According to him, he was the only presidential candidate who had the experience to unify the country and rescue it from bad governance which he said had become the lot of the nation under the watch of the All Progressives Congress.
He said, “If I become the next president, consider it that Imo is in charge of the presidency. It is your own presidency. I will come here, sit down with you and work out a settlement. I have been associated with the Igbo nation for many decades. Trading will pick up again in the South-East. I will set out 10 billion dollars to empower youth, women, and men in businesses. We will provide jobs and businesses.
“The entire south-East is yearning for restructuring of this country. I will make sure that power and resources are devolved to the federating units. I assure you that. I swear to God, I will do it again because I have the experience. Don’t vote for any other party other than the PDP.
