Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has promised to give top priority to job creation if elected in the forthcoming election.
Atiku, who made
the pledge, yesterday, in Lokoja during the PDP presidential campaign
flag off in Kogi State, lamented the current high rate of unemployment
and poverty in the country.
He assured that his administration
would ensure the revival of the moribund Ajaokuta Steel Complex which,
he said, had the potential of generating millions of jobs for the people
and as well boost the economy of the country.
According to him,
his administration would restructure Nigeria in such a way that the
people of Kogi State would enjoy maximum benefits of the abundant
resources the state was endowed with.
Atiku, who decried the high
level of hunger, poverty, insecurity and hardships under the APC-led
government, urged the people of Kogi State vote for PDP candidates from
“top to bottom” in the forthcoming elections to change the negative
narrative and get “Nigeria working again”.
A former Governor of
Kogi State and Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council in the
state, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris aka Ibro, in his remarks urged people of the
state to vote massively for Atiku and all candidates to bring an end to
hunger and suffering the ruling party had inflicted on them over the
past three and half years.
The Director General of PDP
Presidential Campaign Organisation and president of the Senate, Dr.
Bukola Saraki, urged people of the state to vote for PDP candidates and
resist the temptation of exchanging their votes for the ruling party’s
“Tradermoni.”
