Presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said that his agenda is built around a well-developed strategy that will revamp Nigeria’s ailing economy and transform the polity. 

To reform the private sector, the administration would move to liberalise and deregulate the economy in many sectors, provide efficient infrastructure to reduce production cost, and provide protection to priority enterprises. He will also put in place policies and measures to optimize the growth potential of Real Sectors- including Agriculture, Manufacturing and MSMEs. 

The five-point agenda was contained in a policy document released from the campaign office of the former vice President, and it detailed how the administration would, over the first five years, invest heavily in the needed infrastructure that would result in growth across several sectors. 

Core among the infrastructure projects listed are; 25000 MW of non-renewable energy (hydro, solar, nuclear) and other thermal fuels (coal, biofuel) in addition to natural gas; investing in oil refining infrastructure to double refining capacity to two million barrels per day by 2027; investing in the infrastructure of up to 5000km of modern railway lines; invest to improve transmission capacity of 10,000 to 15,000 Mega Watts over the short term with a target of 25,000 Mega Watts over the long-term. 

“I am offering myself again to provide the desired leadership. I have a history of economic reform and political transformation. As a private businessman of many years, I have a deep understanding of our economy and its challenges”, he said. 

While he was Vice President, Abubakar led the economic management team and is credited for designing the private sector revival strategy and opening up the economy for private sector investments especially in the IT sector – which is now one of the fastest growing services sector in the Nigerian economy.

He noted that he would be replicating this on a larger scale with a five-point development agenda that seeks to: Restore Nigeria’s unity through equity; Establish a strong and effective democratic government that guarantees the safety and security of life and property; Build a strong, resilient, and prosperous economy that creates jobs and wealth and lifts the poor out of poverty; Promote a true federal system which will provide for a strong Federal Government to guarantee national unity while allowing the federating units to set their own priorities; and improve and strengthen the education system to equip its recipients with the education and skills required to be competitive in the new global order.

    Any Democratic society which its political culture failed to defend its Cultural Values, Moral Values, Mutual political respect to all as compatriots and failed to promotes National Unity in all its political ideology and its political culture/arrangement internally as political party as the only mean to achieved Healthy, Friendly and Peaceful Democracy in a political atmosphere as ONE UNITED FAMILY with UNITED IDENTITY AS PEOPLE and as COMPATRIOTS Undoubtedly This kind of Society is politically recognized as Sicked Society.
    Alh. Atiku Abubakar and other Presidential Aspirants as well other Aspirants for all elective offices are not Morally qualified on Moral ground because their past records made it cleared that if Nigerian political culture uphold Moral and cultural Values The Way US & some developed countries that were not even claimed been Religious like Nigeria defended and put morality first in their political tradition of producing Democratic leadership Alh. Atiku and other Presidential Aspirants will never come out to aspire for any electives office at all levels based on Moral ground however These Countries where their political culture put morality first on matters of Democratic leadership Disqualified people just because of having record of being a LIAR, GIVE BRIBES OR TAKE BRIBES AND Have records of being person of questionable integrities while all these in Nigerian Barbaric Political culture are Moralised and Legalised which made People Like Alh. Atiku and other Presidential Aspirants to come out to aspire for an electives office just because Nigeria was a sick Society.
    Now the 5 Points Agenda of Alh Atiku Abubakar as a Presidential Aspirant not yet a Candidate, Nigerians want to know, Is it PDP agenda or Nigeria agenda? Because without PATRIOTISM All what the 5 Points Agenda contains remained a mere Mirage or a Political POET of self delusion moreover does Alh. Atiku Abubakar and other Presidential Aspirants a PATRIOTIC NIGERIA? If PATRIOTISM test is in requirements of all people vying for an electives office only few People will aspire for electives office because How could a person whom 95% of its investment located in non Africa countries be a patriotic? How could a person whom either go for medical check up overseas or choose overseas as alternative lifestyle be a patriotic?
    The Military era in the history of Nigeria made tremendous legacies in all key infrastructure Bridges, Power sector, Dams rural and urban roads and above all ensure Protection of lives and property of Nigerians with a Leadership style that uphold Nigeria constitutional MOTTO Just because of their PATRIOTISM.
    Until PATRIOTISM is restored back to people as a Democratic step towards achieving Good Governance whether ONE MILLION AGENDA of self delusion political POEMS or PROSE all are cleared symptoms of a sickness of a society Leadership style of selfish and unpatriotic Mentality.

    The PDP Presidential Candidaten Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
    in his above 5 points manifesto,he dwelt solely on
    econommics.
    That Fulani wanna-be President neither wasted a
    single word on the aysmal state of insecurity in the
    country nor on the utter disunity in the polity, which is trearing us asunder as one country.
    While the Fulanis and their Hausa/Kanuri muslim mongrels are waging a holy war (Jihad) gainst us
    Indigenous Nigerians,the MACBAN’s Killer Fulani
    Herdsmen are on their Futahat Campaigns of daily
    pogroms and ethnic cleansings of native Nigerains.
    Nonetheless,the 3 largest Nigerian ethnic groups,
    the Yorubas,Igbos and the Ijaws,while calling for
    an immediate restructuring of the country are also
    agitating for their Self-determination as an alternative.
    That is because the power – that- be in the polity has jettisioned the agreement signed by our founding
    fathers prior to our Independence from Great Britain.
    Besides,given the ongoing Jihad by the Jihadist Killer Squads; the Ansaru,Boko Haram and ISWAP,coupled
    with the Futahat Campaign by the Killer Fulani Herdsmen, the safety of lives and property of non-muslim Nigerians as of today, is no longer guaranteed.
    By the way,has the brouhaha over the citizenship of the
    Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar been finally resolved?
    The news of his being a Cameroonian did crop up
    during the 2019 Presidential Election.
    Well, that doesn’t really matter.
    After all, the parents of the Buharis,El-Rufais,Shagaris,
    Yar’Aduas et al of this world,came originally from the Niger Republic with their fucking cattle as nomads.
    But the message must not be lost on the Fulani sojourners of the North, that they are nomore Nigerians than the Afrikaans (Boers) are South Africans.
    Thus,they will be overstaying their welcome here
    in our Qua(Kwa)/Bantu fatherland if they didn’t
    dismantle their anachronistic Caliphate of Sokoto,
    abrogate their imposition of Sharia upon us non-
    muslims, pull our country from our OIC,C8 and C15
    memberships.
    Furthermore,the alien Fulanis must also accept
    wholeheartedly the Secularity of our Commonwealth
    Republic of Nigeria,as agreed upon by our founding
    fathers prior to our Independence from Great Britain.
    Enough is enough ojare!
    Nigerai We Hail Thee.Lol!!
