Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will kick-start his campaign for the 2019
election with a special address to the Nigerian people on Facebook at 12 noon
on Monday, which will also mark the launch his policy document.
In
the address, the PDP flag bearer will present his vision for Nigeria and his
action plan to achieve it as encapsulated in his policy document. The document
will promptly be uploaded on his website (www.atiku.org), (www.atikuabubakar2019.org), (www.letsgetnigeriaworkingagain.blogspot.com) and (presidentatikuabubakar.blogspot.com) for all Nigerians to access at no cost, a statement
by the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation revealed yesterday.
“The
decision of Atiku Abubakar to kick-start his Presidential campaign with the
launch of his policy document is to reiterate his commitment to run an issue
based campaign.
“The
intention is to take our policy directly to Nigerians and to register the
belief of Atiku that it will take the collective efforts of every Nigerian to
rebuild the country. That is why we want Nigerians to access the policy
directly and ultimately take ownership of it.
“Our
campaign offers a simple message: united, the people of Nigeria can begin anew,
creating a prosperous and secure future and a better life for every Nigerian.
“On
the first working day of the campaign, the PDP and its candidate, Atiku
Abubakar will put forward his plan to get Nigeria working again.
“We
have chosen to do this by having the PDP Presidential candidate speaking
directly to the Nigerian people on Facebook. This medium came about as part of
the telecommunications revolution that he helped start as Vice President in
1999-2007.
“We
have also chosen to have our candidate speak online as it facilitates the
ability for anyone to download a copy of his policy document at no cost, as we
intend this to be the policy of every Nigerian,” the statement read in part.
Atiku,
the statement added, will focus on creating jobs, ensuring security, growing
business, developing power and water infrastructure, agriculture and education
and how we will empower women.
“Our
policies outline the goals and methods for developing and revitalising Nigeria
as the foundation of our campaign. “This policy document is being launched to
encourage a dialogue with the people of Nigeria, inviting everyone to join us
in helping to get Nigeria working again.
“The
PDP presidential candidate looks forward to conducting vital discussions as he
travels across the length and breadth of Nigeria, meeting and talking with
stakeholders: famers, small business people, workers, students, mothers, and
children,” the statement continued.
While
acknowledging the long route to victory, the campaign organization said it was
confident of its chances nonetheless at the polls.
