Campaign strategist and ally of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shaibu says Nigerians have no future under the Buhari's government.
Shaibu who also has described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government as one of the biggest disasters to have ever befallen Nigeria, said President Muhammadu Buhari?s three and a half years in office is a sad reminder of Nigeria's arrested development since 2015.
In a statement sent to Legit.ng on Monday, November 19, the campaign strategist said there was nothing in Atiku's campaign strategy (TheAtikuPlan) to suggest a hidden agenda of the two terms in office for Atiku Abubakar as suggested by some APC supporters.
Shaibu said that the document is a product of eighteen months of well researched and widely consulted hard work on how to move Nigeria forward and to speed up the pace of development across all the critical sectors of the economy.
He explained that the reason the policy document was authored to cover up to 2025 and beyond was simply meant to address the volatility and unpredictability of global trade and economics, as most progressive leaders who understand the intricate nature of growing their economies, draw up 10 year strategic vision plans for their nations, even when they well understand that their term in office will not extend to such a period.

Explaining further, Shaibu noted that government was a continuum and as such, a sound and effective development plan can serve several leaders who are desirous of enhancing the welfare and well being of their citizens.
He cited three examples from Nigeria?s recent past where the current administration continued to implement some major projects and policies of the immediate past PDP administration.
He listed the projects to include railway projects, the implementation of the TSA and BVN financial policy, by the Buhari administration, which, according to him, were actually inherited by the sound development plan of President Goodluck Jonathan's government.
Part of the statement read: ?Sadly, the mudslinging intentions and diabolic attempts to divert the campaign away from the real issues that continue to bedevil the country, has been given a new twist by the purveyors of negative propaganda.
?This category of persons have simply overlooked the salient points contained in the ?My plan to get Nigeria working again? document to invoke ethnic and divisive sentiments by insinuating that the document has exposed a hidden agenda of a second term plan by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and by so doing are directly provoking the south-east or even south-west into erroneously believing that they have no stake in 2023.
?With all these, it is obvious that ?My Plan to get Nigeria working Again,? is indeed a comprehensive work plan that has been structured to outlive Atiku's stay in office, even if it was to become a two-term presidency.
?The mention of 2025 and 2030 as delivery dates for some of the critical components of the plan is a clear demonstration that Atiku's vision reflects the sincerity of his intentions to achieve a better, more progressive Nigeria and the generosity of the mind of a good leader who thinks ahead in a selfless manner for common good.
?What Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has done is simply acknowledging that Nigeria will exist beyond his tenure as such he has set down a road map to make the work easier for those that will take over and continue the good work of reviving Nigeria from its comatose state under Buhari and the APC.?
The campaign strategist further called on the APC to apologise to all Nigerians for bringing them nothing but suffering of unquantifiable proportion since 2015, and to make a solemn pledge not to have anything to do with governance.
?For now, my candid opinion is that emphasis should be on examining the many failed promises of Buhari and the new promises he has made in his simplistic document called ?Taking Nigeria to the Next level.?
?Sadly, this new Buhari?s document has no platform to stand in the present bad situation of Nigeria that he has foisted on Nigerians,? he added.
He added that nothing has changed about Atiku's ambition to rule Nigeria between 2019 - 2023 for now, stressing that the period remains a priority.

Meanwhile, Atiku on Monday, November 19, said he has a plan to kick-off sound economic policies that would help to pull at least 50 million Nigerians out of poverty within two years.
The former vice president said the policies would ensure the creation of job opportunities for Nigerians and create a minimum of 2.5 million jobs annually, ?lifting at least 50 million people from poverty in the first two years.?
He further stated that the effect of such a policy would help to double Nigeria?s GDP to N900 billion by 2025.
