Abuja, Nigeria Nigeria’s main opposition leader Atiku Abubakar has vowed to get the country “working again” by reviving its economy as he launched his 2019 presidential elections campaign.
In a Facebook Live address on Monday, the former vice president promised to create millions of jobs to tackle rising inequality and insecurity in Africa’s top oil-producing country.
“The sad fact today, as you know, is that too many of our people are not working and are living in poverty and insecurity,” Abubakar said.
“Almost all indices on socioeconomic and political development have plummeted, throwing over 70 percent of Nigerians into unprecedented poverty,” the 71-year-old added.
“The most important question in this election is: are you better off than you were four years ago, are you richer or poorer? That is why our primary focus is to get Nigeria working again.”
Abubakar’s comments came a day after the official start of campaigning for the elections, which are scheduled to be held on February 16, 2019.
Incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to step up the fight against corruption as he bids for a second term.
“Corruption is an existential threat to Nigeria. Despite the gains we made in closing the gaps, we know that there is still much ground to cover to stop the systemic corruption,” Buhari said on Sunday in the capital, Abuja.
“We are committed to deepening the work we started this first term,” added Buhari, who in 2015 became the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting president.
Nigeria’s election commission has cleared a record 79 candidates in the race for the nation’s top job, including Buhari, who belongs to the All Progressives Congress party.
