As the February 2019 election draws closer, politicians are beginning to reveal their plans for the country one way or the other.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar or better still Atikulated Atiku on Wednesday while addressing the business community in Lagos at an event themed “Getting Nigeria’s Economy Working: A Pragmatic Approach. says he will not be enriching members of his family but rather he will be enriching his friends.
Atiku vowed to privatise the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in his statement “I am committed to privatizing NNPC, I said it.”

"My friends deserve to be enriched and I will enrich them by privatizing NNPC to them…"-ATIKU
This is one promise Atiku will keep. When Titi started as his friend, he privatized our borders to her. He privatized our earnings to Jenifer too through Jefferson.

Atiku is very daring and disrespectful to Nigerians. Imagine the rat in the cupboard threatening the owners of the house with rat poison that should kill him! He will sell NNPC even if it would cost him his life… He will enrich his friends… The man is a political terrorist!

All of you against the privatisation of NNPC, how many of you are benefiting from NNPC today? Only 0.2 percent of Nigerians are reaping from that mafia organization. Think!
I thought we're all intellectuals on this app.— Ibro Adeyemi (@Ibrohandsome1) January 17, 2019
Your MCM @Atiku Abubakar wants to:
1. Enrich his friends with our collective money
2. Sell NNPC
3. Sack Federal Government workers.
Is this his plan on how to get Nigeria working again? pic.twitter.com/f15HGaFwXY

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, a leopard can't change its spots@atiku clearly telling us he'll privatize NNPC and other institutions to enrich his friends, as long as there's no element of corruption, because they are entitled to be rich. #AtikulatedPlans pic.twitter.com/GJdzXwCDMY

Since 1977 till date,NNPC has relied heavily on government funding despite making money on its own.NNPC has become a conduit pipe for siphoning Nigeria's money through oil contracts to fund elitist avarice and greed

#Atiku said he will reduce the size of the FG & Privatise FG assets including NNPC?
Which means he will sack a lot of FG workers just like NITEL etc.
Selling major government assets indirectly means the new owners can hold the country & economy to ransom at any time.It is well.

The PIB has already recommended/proposed the conversion of NNPC to NNPC https://t.co/hyr9Zkcawd what Atiku said about selling NNPC is not strange or https://t.co/tj0cOonWp4's an ongoing process even under the APC Government

Who cursed PDP? @atiku says he will sell NNPC to friends. This man is confirmed corrupt. Corruption oozes from his pores. He will favour his friends. It will not be fair to all others who are not his friends. He will do what he has always done, buy our commonwealth using friends

Assuming I don't have sense. I expect u that have sense to know that currently. NNPCs book is into loss at the end of the year. NNPC is paying homogous subsidies if privatised. It will make profit for Nigerians including dunderheads like you. Men that think like buhari
