As the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, lifts the ban on presidential campaign, the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has said he would kick-start his campaign through an address to Nigerians on Facebook on Monday.

A statement issued by Atiku’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, on Saturday in Abuja, said he would use the address to launch his policy document.

The statement read: “In his address, the PDP presidential candidate will present his vision for Nigeria and his action plan to achieve it as encapsulated in his policy document.

“The intention is to take our policy directly to Nigerians and to register the belief of Atiku that it will take the collective efforts of every Nigerian to rebuild the country.

“That is why we want Nigerians to access the policy directly and ultimately take ownership of it.”

The message of the campaign according to the statement is: “united, the people of Nigeria can begin anew, creating a prosperous and secure future and a better life for every Nigerian.”

The organisation explained that Atiku’s decision to start off his presidential campaign with the launch of his policy document was in line with his resolve to run an issue-based campaign.

The statement said further: “We have chosen to do this by having the PDP Presidential candidate speaking directly to the Nigerian people on Facebook.

“This medium came about as part of the telecommunications revolution that he helped start as Vice President in 1999-2007.

“We have also chosen to have our candidate speak online as it facilitates the ability for anyone to download a copy of his policy document at no cost, as we intend this to be the policy of every Nigerian.

“Our policy document focuses on creating jobs, ensuring security, growing business, developing power and water infrastructure, agriculture and education and how we will empower women.

“Our policies outline the goals and methods for developing and revitalising Nigeria as the foundation of our campaign.

“This policy document is being launched to encourage a dialogue with the people of Nigeria, inviting everyone to join us in helping to get Nigeria working again.”

The campaign organisation said Atiku was looking forward to having serious discussions as he traverses the length and breadth of country meeting and talking with stakeholders which include farmers, small business people, workers, students, mothers, and children.

“We recognise that this will be a vigorous and hard fought election. We are completely confident that with peaceful, free and fair elections, we will be victorious,” the statement said.
