Atiku Reveals What He Would Have Done As The President

Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, published what he claimed was a list of accomplishments he would have made if he had won the 2023 election.

Atiku, the candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the following long statement headlined “What we would have done differently”: “I’ve been bombarded with questions about what I would have done differently if I were in charge of our nation’s affairs.

In the interest of the Nigerian people, I hope Tinubu and his administration are modest enough to take one or two ideas from us. I will now go on to list some of our ideas that may have revolutionized our dear nation.

“We would have planned better and more robustly and my journey of reforms would have benefited from more adequate preparations; more sufficient diagnostic assessment of the country’s conditions; more consultations with key stakeholders; and better ideas for the final destination.

“We would have been guided by my robust reform agenda as encapsulated in ‘My Covenant With Nigerians’, my policy document that sought to, among others, protect our fragile economy against much deeper crisis by preventing business collapse; our document had spelt out policies that were consistent and coherent.

“We would have sequenced my reforms to achieve fiscal and monetary congruence,” he stated, adding that his reforms would have offered better results and pragmatism for a people-focused programme.

“I (and members of my team) would not have lived in luxury while the citizens wallow in misery; we would have communicated more effectively with the people, with civility, tact, and diplomacy,” he added, stressing that his administration’s consultations with stakeholders would be offering greater opportunities for learning, negotiation, adaptation and modification of policy goals.

He said his administration would have launched an Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF), with an initial investment capacity of approximately US$10 billion to support MSMEs across all economic sectors, adding that his approach would have been people-centric, with the restructuring of key sectors.

He added that his specific governance strategies would have prioritized accountability by ensuring thorough reviews of public sector spending and practices while a commitment to transparency in managing state-owned enterprises (SOEs) would have facilitated a situation where only viable enterprises would continue to receive fiscal support.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
