Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the February elections is engaging social media users and has asked them to send him questions as he and his running mate, Peter Obi, appears on Television programme January 30.
“Peter Obi and I look forward to articulating our plans to get Nigeria working again on NTA’s The Candidates on 30th January. If you have any questions for us to answer, please add them to this tweet,” he said via his Twitter handle.
Coming under the hashtag, #AskAtiku, Twitter users have since sent him a barrage of questions ranging from security, economy, restructuring, power and a host of other issues.
“To what extent are you prepared to allow Peter Obi to implement the sort of drastic cost-cutting measures he implemented as governor of Anambra state in order to free up funds for another critical government spending such as health, education and infrastructure?” Kingsley Omose asked.
Emmanuel Odimba asked him what he intends to do to the Ports in Lagos, which he says are overused.
“What do you intend doing regarding the overuse of Lagos ports when ports in the south-east and south-south have been abandoned?” Odimba asked.
As at the time of filing this report, Atiku is yet to respond to most of the questions. According to him, they will form plank on which he will appear on the television station.
