The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar will kick-start his campaign for president in the 2019 election.
A statement from his campaign organization said that Atiku will begin the campaign through an address to the Nigerian people on Facebook at 12 noon on Monday where he will launch his policy document.
“In his address the PDP presidential candidate will present his vision for Nigeria and his action plan to achieve it as encapsulated in his policy document. The document will promptly be uploaded on his website (www.atiku.org) for all Nigerians to access at no cost.”
The statement, signed by Paul Ibe, said that the decision of Atiku to kick-start his presidential campaign with the launch of his policy document is to reiterate his commitment to run an issue based campaign.
“The intention is to take our policy directly to Nigerians and to register the belief of Atiku Abubakar that it will take the collective efforts of every Nigerian to rebuild the country. That is why we want Nigerians to access the policy directly and ultimately take ownership of it.
“Our campaign offers a simple message: united, the people of Nigeria can begin anew, creating a prosperous and secure future and a better life for every Nigerian.”
