Job Creation Is What I Do Best – Atiku

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has said job creation is what he does best.
Atiku, a former vice-president, on Thursday via his twitter handle said job creation is the “most effective way” to fight crime.

He said, “The most effective way to fight crime is to provide the opportunity to create wealth because poverty is conducive to crime.

“If you elect me as your President, I will equip the security forces to fight terrorism and crime. Additionally, I will do what I do best – job creation.”

Meanwhile, the 71-year-old dissociated himself from an alleged disbursement of grants to Nigerians.

“Atiku is currently giving Nigerians grant between 50-300k for businessmen and women, undergraduates and graduates and to farmers also,” the alleged message viral on the social media had read.

In reaction, Atiku in a statement titled, “Atiku disowns online grant scheme” said, “The attention of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization (APCO) has been drawn to an on-going scheme that purports to disburse grants to unsuspecting Nigerians.

“Information available to us reveal that the scheme code-named ‘Atiku Grant Disbursement Programme’ (see link bit.ly/2NP4vup) is asking unsuspecting members of the public to contribute a certain amount of money which will be multiplied for them after they have downloaded a particular social media application.

“The APCO disclaims this scheme and any other in such manner. For the avoidance of doubt, the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization is not in any way involved with the scheme or any other in such a manner and neither did it give a proxy authorization.

“The APCO also wishes to inform the general public that the official/verified social media handles of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP and former Vice President of Nigeria remains the following:

“The public is therefore put on notice to discountenance communication that did not emanate from any of these social media accounts and to refrain from participating in any online scheme that is aimed at defrauding innocent Nigerians, with the ulterior motive to embarrass the presidential campaign of Atiku Abubakar.”
