A statement issued by Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation said the presidential aspirant would use the address to launch his policy document.

“In his address, the PDP presidential candidate will present his vision for Nigeria and his action plan to achieve it as encapsulated in his policy document,” the statement said.

The organisation said Mr Abubakar’s decision to kick-start his presidential campaign with the launch of his policy document is to reiterate his commitment to run an issue-based campaign.

“The intention is to take our policy directly to Nigerians and to register the belief of Abubakar that it will take the collective efforts of every Nigerian to rebuild the country.

“That is why we want Nigerians to access the policy directly and ultimately take ownership of it,” the statement further reads.

It added that the campaign of the organisation would offer a simple message: “United, the people of Nigeria can begin anew, creating a prosperous and secure future and a better life for every Nigerian.”
