 PRESS STATEMENT

Women And Youths Support Group for Atiku Abubakar replied Obasanjo

It is uncharitable to play down the roles played by Atiku Abubakar in stabilizing Nigerian economy under Obasanjo administration.

It is with total disbelieve to watch Chief Obasanjo castigating his vice Atiku Abubakar who in the face of total economic depression, led the  team that put the economy on the path of sustainable development. At least, it is on record that Obasanjo administration was greeted with financial challenges,   having just being birthed by the military government of Gen. Abdusalam Abubakar. It then, took the resilience, hardwork and total commitment of Atiku Abubakar led economic team to devise means for sustainable economic growth to move the nation forward. 

These involved drastic formulation of economic policies and reforms aimed at generating funds into the coffer of the government by plugging holes in which resources were being either stolen or wasted. In fact, this led to the creation EFCC and related anti corruption agencies.  It is worthy to note that reforms carried out in the Nigerian Port Authority( NPA) by the team as at that time, led to increase in revenue generation and effeciences as still seen today. Altogether, the team ensured the cancellation of the country's external debt by the foreign nations.

We hereby advise our leaders to always appreciate the efforts of Nigerians who had helped in the process of nation building in the past for future leaders to emulate. Nigerians in the likes of Atiku Abubakar.

Signed

Hon. Alexander Akinwande

Ag. National General Secretary WAYS 4 Atiku Abubakar
