Mixed reactions greet Buhari, Atiku’s plans

Mixed reactions on Monday trailed the Sunday inauguration of the campaign documents of President Muhammadu Buhari and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Buhari who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress and Atiku are the leading contestants in the presidential election slated for February 16, 2019.

The President unveiled a campaign document called ‘Next Level,’ while the PDP candidate released a documented titled ‘Let’s get Nigeria working again.’

The two documents have elicited different reactions.

The first salvo came from two civil societies, the Campaign for Democracy, and the Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership.

The organisations said neither Buhari nor Atiku had clear-cut programmes for the country in their policy statements for 2019.

In separate interviews with The PUNCH correspondents, the civil societies said it was unfortunate that Nigeria had to choose between two unpleasant choices ahead of the general elections.
