Published

If elected president in 2023, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar has vowed to expose oil thieves in the nation.

Atiku made this commitment on Saturday at the Eko hotel in Lagos during a discussion with the Business Dialogue Stakeholders Forum.

Additionally, the PDP presidential candidate promised to seize any oil blocks given to Nigerians who have not made them operational.

His statements:

“If you are not going to develop oil blocs given to you, we will take it away and give it to those who will develop it. We will also assemble the names of those involved in oil theft, publish and prosecute them.”

He restated his commitment to privatizing the Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri refineries to improve productivity. 

Atiku attended the session alongside his running mate and Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.

Also speaking at the session, the Chairman and Director General of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign team, governors Udom Emmanuel and Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Akwa Ibom and Sokoto states respectively, urged the stakeholders to support Atiku for a better Nigeria.
