If Elected, I Will Inject $10bn Into Business In Igboland – Atiku
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, stated yesterday that there is no justification for the South-East people not to support the PDP in the 2023 presidential election.
Atiku addressed at the PDP presidential rally in Ndubusi Kanu Square in Owerri.
He decided to do this so he could listen to the Igbo, who are leading the charge for the country’s restructuring.
Additionally, he pledged to invest $10 billion in Igbo firms to help them grow as a people known for their businesses.
“If I am the President, Imo is at the Presidency. We know we have security challenges in Imo and all over the country. But once I am elected the President, I will sit down with you to work out the problem. I have been associated with the Igbo for decades.
“I know Igbo are businessmen. If elected I will bring back business in Igboland. Once I am elected I will inject $10 billion into small businesses in Igboland; with that, nobody will say he does not have anything to do in the South-East.”
Earlier in his remark, the vice presidential candidate of the PDP, and governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, said: “We want everybody to be committed to this campaign till the day of election. Our party has brought Atiku Abubakar, he is the only person that can correct anomalies created by the ruling APC.
Atiku said he will bring 10 billion dollars to support small businesses. I am convinced Atiku will win this election. I greet all of you and I know you are ready to work for the PDP.”
