2019 presidency: Atiku promises to build refineries in Akwa Ibom

By
The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Atiku Abubakar, has said that he in partnership with the Akwa State governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel would build refineries in the state if they succeed in the 2019 elections.

Atiku made the promise on Monday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo during his campaign rally.

The presidential candidate said, “When you elect me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will, in partnership with Governor Udom Emmanuel, whom you will re-elect, build refineries in Akwa Ibom State. Restructuring, which is one of my promises, will also have positive impact in Akwa Ibom State.”

He used the rally to unveil his vision for the country, noting that he was committed to get Nigeria working again,, saying, “To get Nigeria working again, I plead with the people of Akwa Ibom State and indeed Nigerians to vote PDP from top to bottom and bottom to top.”

He reiterated his position on restructuring, stressing that he’ll not only restructure the country, but will be a President for all Nigerians regardless of tribe, tongue or religion.

“Restructuring, which is one of my promises, will also have positive impact in Akwa Ibom State. I don’t discriminate. I am from Adamawa and I don’t care where one comes from. See this young man? Udim; he is from Akwa Ibom and he has been my personal photographer for years.”

While noting that women and youths will constitute 70 percent of his administration, he said he wants to handover the mantle of leadership to youths.

In his remark, the Akwa Ibom State governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, said the barometer used in measuring anybody contesting to be president of a country anywhere in the world is the person’s economic blueprint.

“Today we are showing all Nigerians and the entire world that Akwa Ibom state is PDP and PDP is Akwa Ibom. From today going forward, when the detractors will come to Abuja to deceive those who may not know the truth about the state, tell them that the mammoth crowd we witnessed today at the venue of our party’s presidential rally has spoken volume that indeed, Akwa Ibom is PDP. Come February 16, 2019, the state will give a resounding vote that will translate into electing the next president of Nigeria in the person of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.”

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
