The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday commended the launch of ‘AtikuPlan’ as campaign policy for its Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku Abubakar, on Monday in a Live broadcast, formally launched his campaign for the 2019 presidential elections.
Reacting, the party said the public endorsement that heralded the policy document of its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was a confirmation that the document embodied the collective mindset, yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians.
The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Monday said that the document reveals Atiku hope for Nigerians for a new leadership and a better life in the country.
Ologbondiyan noted that Abubakar’s policy document offered solutions and practical direction for delivery in all sectors.
The statement read: “The Atiku Abubakar policy document is a product of very wide, painstaking and productive consultations with Nigerians from all walks of live, critical stakeholders and development partners in key sectors, in the overall determination to chart a new course for our nation.
“The policy document foretells a new dawn as it articulates practical solutions and answers to the myriad of economic, social and political challenges facing our nation and sets out all-inclusive templates for national rejuvenation, cohesion, protection of human rights and democratic tenets, wealth creation, transparency and elimination of corruption in governance.
“In line with PDP’s people-based manifesto, the Atiku Abubakar policy document places utmost priority on the people by focusing chiefly on their yearnings for job creation, infrastructural development, poverty eradication, human capital development, inclusiveness and national unity.
“Abubakar had always maintained a strong bond with the people, hence his ability to understand their challenges, collective aspirations and to proffer solutions with underlining political will.
“The PDP, therefore, urges Nigerians to continue to take ownership of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential campaign, which embodies their collective aspiration as a people to make our dear nation work again.”
