The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has revealed that growing up was hard as an orpha, saying he started out as an orphan selling firewood on the streets of Jada in present day Adamawa State.

Atiku disclosed this during the launch of his presidential on Monday, in a live broadcast aired his verified Twitter handle, Atiku Abubakar @atiku.

Atiku narrated, “I started out as an orphan selling firewood on the streets of Jada in Adamawa, but God, through the Nigerian state, invested in me and here I am today.

“If Nigeria worked for me, I owe it as my duty to make sure that Nigeria also works for you,” he said.

The ex-vice president noted in his declaration that it was time to get Nigeria Working again, saying, “I appeal to you to join me on this journey towards a better life for all Nigerians.”

Continuing, Atiku said, “Today we will begin the process of sharing our policies that form my plan to create jobs, restructure the polity, and Get Nigeria Working Again.

“If elected President, I will be pro-active in attracting investments and supporting the 50 million small and medium scale enterprises across Nigeria for the purpose of doubling the size of our Gross Domestic Product to US$900 billion by 2025.

“These investments will create a minimum of 2.5 million jobs annually and lift at least 50 million people from poverty in the first 2 years.

“My team and I will also help create jobs by innovating flagship programmes such as the National Open Apprenticeship Programme through which we shall enhance the capacity of Master-Craftsmen and women to train 1,000,000 new apprentices every year.

“Our National Innovation Fund and SME Venture Capital Fund initiatives will provide stable and sustainable long-term support to aspiring entrepreneurs.

“My plan to restructure Nigeria will lead to a vast increase in the Internally Generated Revenue both for the Federal Government and the states via the matching grants that we will provide to state governments that increase their own revenue.

“Let me be clear no state will receive less funding than they get today – in fact all will receive more and the harder a state works the more they will get.

“And I am not just presenting these policies to you, I want you to own them. Take a look at them.

“You can view them at Atiku.org and on the pamphlets that we are making available to the public, you will have an opportunity to provide your feedback.”

Atiku can save us the rhetorics, as it doesn't matter whether he was an orphan who fed from the dustbin or a rich spoilt brat who rode 50 million naira bikes.

All that matters right now is that he's Nigeria's anointed to take the country out of this perilous times brought upon it by one Lifeless Dullard.

Congratulations.

So we should all start selling firewood Shéy?

G

All Na Sakamanje.. Scope.. Brainwashing.. They Are All The Same And Has Same Goal : To Loot The Country ;(

Then you gradually found your way into the Nigerian treasury
Perhaps obasanjo is right
Atiku being born a poor nobody and low life is the sole reason why his greed and enormous theft is at the next level

Atiku has shown his readiness and desire to serve, I believe he will get Nigeria working again come 2019.

Atiku is a great man. He has the template to stimulate and turnaround the economy for the betterment of the deprived and downtrodden. PDP made the right choice by electing him their Presidential candidate. He is well prepared for the job.

I urge all Nigerians to join us to make a new Nigeria possible

Good

Atiku is far better than Buhari. Buhari is a wicked pretender determined to carry out the expansionist agenda of his ethnic Fulani. If Nigerians mistakenly bring this man for second term, they go hear am.

Another ‘I have no shoes’ story meant for gullible ipob miscreants who swallow whatever Atiku drops without reasoning with their head. Seems they have little or nothing between their ears.
