Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has revealed its plans ahead of this year’s general elections.
Atiku said if elected into power he will enrich his friends.
The PDP candidate stated this on Wednesday while addressing the business community in Lagos at an event themed “Getting Nigeria’s Economy Working : A Pragmatic Approach.
“I am not going to enrich members of my family but my friends.
“Are my friends not entitled to be enriched? As long as there is no element of corruption there,” he said.
Beyond that, Atiku also vowed to privatise the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) if he gets into power.
He said, “I am committed to privatizing NNPC, I said it.”
He had previously announced that he would privatise the oil corporation which has faced controversy over how it operates over the years.
Although the plan had been faulted by some at the time it was announced, the PDP candidate vowed to follow through with it even if it costs him his life.
“I swear, even if they are going to kill me, I will do it,” he said.
Atiku believes this will work out well and stabilize the condition of things.
