POLITICS:“I Have Ideas Needed To Fix Nigeria”, Says Atiku Abubakar.

The Nigerian Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said that he is not desperate to emerge as President of the country in 2019.

The Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant further said that he has sufficient idea needed to fix Nigeria’s problems; adding that he is qualified to contest.

“I am fit and qualified. I still have ideas that I believe that are going to put this country on the right path. So, what is wrong with running?

“I am not desperate and if I were desperate, I would have taken the Presidency in 2003. If I were desperate, I would not have stepped down for (late Moshood) Abiola. I am not desperate.”

Atiku also accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of being responsible for the loss of nine million jobs since 2015.

“Since the APC came into power, it said it was going to create three million jobs. It has lost three million jobs every year and today, we have 11 million young Nigerians not working.

“It is only the PDP that can create these jobs because we have done so before. We have created jobs before; we have brought prosperity before in this country. We have unified this country before and we have ensured that there was equity in this country before”, Atiku said during his visit to delegates of the Edo State chapter of the PDP to solicit their support ahead of the party’s primary in September.
