2019: Atiku reiterates commitment to curb poverty, killings

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, says his expected victory in the 2019 would be a victory for the people, even as he restated his commitment to galvanizing all efforts to liberate the nation from the shackles of hunger, deprivations, killing and divisiveness.

The PDP Presidential candidate, who spoke at a meeting with members of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja on Thursday, commended Nigerians for their commitment and sacrifices towards rescuing the nation from misrule, adding that such sacrifices will not be in vain.

“Our aim is to work very hard and collectively liberate our nation from the shackles of hunger, starvation, deprivation, bloodletting, killings and division which bedevil us today. We must all work hard to return our nation to the path of harmony, peace and progress” he said.

Atiku Abubakar, whose campaign policy document is generally accepted across the country as a practical answer to the nation’s economic, social and infrastructure challenges, also assured of a new template for fiscal responsibility and productivity in all critical sectors of our national life.

He further assured that he has a running mate that is honest and reputed to have a very high sense of fiscal responsibility and transparency in governance.

Finally, he commended members of the National Working Committee for their effort in rebuilding and rebranding the party and urged them to continue with the momentum, built so far, until Nigerians achieve victory on the platform of the PDP at the 2019 general election.
