The National President of Turaki Vanguard, Mr Oladimeji Fabiyi, says the security issues in the north-east and reintegration of the area and the Niger delta region are some of Atiku Abukabar’s agenda, as he seeks to cross the huddle of the All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate primaries.

On a Channels Television programme, Sunrise Daily, on Monday, he said that Atiku had got the necessary experience that would give him an upper hand in the primaries.

“A lot of things stand Atiku out in this present dispensation in terms of experience, vision capacity to deliver and in so many occasions he has proven this.

“He has understudied a very strong President, Olusegun Obasanjo, that provided a strong platform for governance in Nigeria.

“Today Atiku believes he has what it takes to deliver Nigeria,” he said.

To Fix Nigeria

Mr Fabiyi also said that some other relevant issues that Atiku was looking to address were that of employment generation, infrastructure and power, citizenship and governance.

“The present leadership of Nigeria lacked the capacity to address the issues that the nation was having, insisting that “Atiku has the capacity to fix Nigeria”.

“Nigerians are tired of the problem they are facing.

“Niger delta and the north-east reintegration which he wants to ensure is truly carried out.

“Atiku has a plan of introducing an approach that would bring continuous development of the Niger delta region,” he said.

Declaring his interest to contest in the presidential election in 2015 few weeks ago, the former Vice President said he would establish a security master plan and a reform agenda that would bring development in the volatile north-east region that had seen stalled development as a result of Boko Haram terrorism.

According to Mr Fabiyi, “Atiku is one of the finest democrats in Nigeria and his credentials led to why the All Progressives Congress approached him. For him it is about sustenance of democracy and about Nigeria”.
