I’m deeply saddened by the loss of our soldiers in these attacks and ask for the support and prayers of all Nigerians for our military in this war against ISWAP & Boko Haram.

Today, I am formally presenting myself to you as the presidential candidate of not just the @OfficialPDPNig, but of the hopes and aspirations of all Nigerians. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

The most important question in this election is: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?  Are we richer or poorer?”  That is why our primary focus is on getting Nigeria working again. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

I am strongly of the view that I am just one Nigerian and one Nigerian cannot be as wise as all Nigerians. That is why I will offer an inclusive leadership. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

Atiku Abubakar is 100% for 100% of Nigerians, 100% of the time. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

A promise is an indication to do a future action. A policy is a plan to achieve future goals. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

I am not one for making grandiose promises. Rather than promises, I believe in policies. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

As the International Monetary Fund stated very recently, it is the failure of this government to have a coherent and comprehensive set of policies combined with poor leadership that has led to its failure to deliver. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

Over the last 18 months, I have worked with the best experts Nigeria has to offer to come up with policies and plans that when implemented will get Nigeria going in the right direction again. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

I am not talking about what I can do. I am talking of what I have done before. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

I was Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007 and in that time, I chaired the National Economic Council that gave Nigeria her highest and most consistent GDP growth of over 6% per annum. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

Despite the fact that crude oil prices at that time were much lower than they are today, under the dynamic leadership of President Olusegun Obasanjo, we paid off Nigeria’s entire foreign debt. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

We also introduced the GSM revolution that saw Nigeria go from 100,000 phone lines to over 100 million today. We were able to achieve these, and much more, because we had a plan. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

That plan worked and today I have the pleasure of unveiling our policies and strategies to take Nigeria from where she is now, to where she needs to be. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

My plan will give Nigerian workers a living wage. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

My plan will give Nigeria’s youth a world-class education. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

My plan will empower Nigerian women, reduce maternal mortality and increase their financial stability. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

My plan will cater for the elderly, so our people are not afraid of growing old. #TheAtikuPlan

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

But above all, my plan will help create jobs because in my many travels across our great nation the one consistent thing I hear wherever I am is that our people need jobs. #TheAtikuPlan
