The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has assured the people of the South-East that if elected the next president of Nigeria, his administration would end insecurity ravaging the region.
Atiku stated this on Saturday in Owerri, the Imo State capital, during the PDP presidential campaign rally in the state.
He said his administration would give the Igbo people a sense of belonging.
Atiku also said that his administration would engage with the Igbo youths, especially on the issue of restructuring and uniting all parts of the country.
According to the former Vice President, he was the only presidential candidate who had the experience to unify the country and rescue it from bad governance which he said had become the lot of the nation under the watch of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said, “If I become the next president, consider it that Imo is in charge of the presidency. It is your own presidency. I will come here, sit down with you and work out a settlement. I have been associated with the Igbo nation for many decades. Trading will pick up again in the South-East. I will set out 10 billion dollars to empower youth, women, and men in businesses. We will provide jobs and businesses.
“The entire south-East is yearning for restructuring of this country. I will make sure that power and resources are devolved to the federating units. I assure you that. I swear to God, I will do it again because I have the experience. Don’t vote for any other party other than the PDP.
“Honestly, I am impressed with the turnout in Imo State. My fellow people from Imo State, God bless you all and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that Atiku had a few days, said he was the surest route for an Igbo presidency, and urged the region to support him.
