2019 presidency: What Atiku said about job creation, insecurity under Buhari govt in Niger

Ahead of the forthcoming February election, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has reiterated his promise to create jobs and ensure adequate security if elected.

The former Vice President, made the remark while addressing supporters during his presidential campaign in Minna, the Niger State capital, on Wednesday.

He lamented that President Muhammed Buhari-led government has been unable to address the issue of insecurity because it has failed to provide jobs.

The Waziri of Adamawa also assured that he would create an enabling and friendly environment for businesses and investors, as well as revive industries which he believed would bring about wealth in the country.

Abubakar claimed that over 10 million Nigerians, including women and youth, had lost their jobs in the last three and half years of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.

“Today, insecurity is not only peculiar to the Northeast, but we now have insecurity in North Central and North West; APC has failed to control insecurity.

“Our campaign is issues based; which is to fight corruption, restore back security and eradicate poverty in the country if voted into power,” he said.
