Lagos State
Coordinator for Articulated Agenda 2019, a pressure group for Atiku Abubakar
Presidency, Bishop Victor David Enweruezo, has stated that preparations are on
top gear to welcome the Presidential aspirant to Lagos.
Enwereuzo
said “Atiku Abubakar has been tested, he has been in government, he has been a
genuine business man, who has created jobs for well-meaning Nigerians, and also
he has promised restructuring.”
The
Coordinator was speaking to the media after a meeting of the group in Lagos on
Saturday.
He disclosed
that Restructuring is what Nigerians are clamouring for. In his words “Restructuring
is the only thing Nigerians need from anybody that should be the president so
that we can all go back home and develop our states and then create jobs, have
education, bring in expertise, professionals, and develop; and stop all these
intimidations going on in the country.
“We all go
abroad to buy various vehicles including Tokumbo, but here we have seen
graduates, and undergraduates who have managed to manufacture airplane,
vehicles; if we have true federalism, the governors of each state would support
such people. With all these the rest of the world will be coming here to see
our vision and to see what we are capable of doing,”
On preparations
to host Atiku he said “We are creating awareness, and I am so glad that various
interest groups in Lagos, market associations, professionals are with us, but
not just creating awareness for Atiku to be welcomed to Lagos, but also
creating awareness on people getting their PVCs which is the right they have as
citizens to vote in Atiku and to vote out the present administration.
“We want to
welcome him in a grand style, and we hope this will welcome other times
that we are looking forward to, we want to appreciate him for what he has been
doing. We
want to tell the people, this is the man that will deliver Nigeria, this is the man, prepare to meet with him.”
He said
Atiku’s coming to Lagos is not a hidden agenda.
Bishop David
said “Atiku is not coming with arms and ammunition, however, my appeal is that
Lagosians should have foresight, it is an issue that affects every well-meaning
Nigerian, and as such Lagosians should welcome him with open arms, we don’t
want those that will cause nuisance, we don’t want thugs”
Enwereuzo
stated the Articulated Agenda is working closely with PDP, saying the group has
had in audience PDP ward leaders who have recognized and associated with them.
According to
him Articulated Agenda 2019 as a vision was founded by Chief Dr. Emeka Kalu,
having seen the political ineptitude of the present Government, designed the
pressure group to persuade the former Vice President, His Excellency Atiku
Abubakar, “and asked him to vie for the post of Presidency of Nigeria.
We have
36 states coordinators in the Federation, this is a pressure group to make sure
we are able to persuade people, convince people to get their PVCs; that is our
first agenda, and also for the people to see the reason why Atiku should come
on board.”
