Atiku will ‘uncompromisingly fight corruption’, jail looters— PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says its presidential candidate in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, will “uncompromisingly fight corruption” and jail looters.
The party also said he would revamp Nigeria’s economy if elected.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, disclosed these a statement in Abuja on Sunday.
He said, “The rebranded PDP assures Nigerians that all those looting the national treasury, including those now enjoying President Buhari’s official cover, will definitely face the wrath of the law and go to jail because the Atiku Abubakar administration will not only fight poverty but will also uncompromisingly fight corruption.

“A combination of Atiku and his running mate, Peter Obi, known internationally for their forthrightness, hard work, ingenuity and managerial competencies, guarantees a prudent and result-oriented administration that will liberate our nation from the economic shackles that President Buhari’s wasteful, notoriously incompetent, and deceptive administration has plunged us into.
“Atiku comes with the Nigerian resilient entrepreneurial spirit to once again open up our economy, attract investments, create jobs and unite our citizenry for a more productive nation.
“Already, our candidate, as a successful entrepreneur, has perfected an economic template that will reduce the cost of governance, plug wastages, tackle corruption, free our national resources currently being squandered by the Buhari administration and channel them for the welfare of the people.”
