ABUJA — Atiku Abubakar, presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said institutions and policy frameworks the PDP government put in place while in power have been mismanaged by the present administration.
He said this on Wednesday while receiving a delegation of the executive members of the ‘PDP New Generation’, a support group, led by Audu Mahmud, its director-general, in Abuja.
The presidential candidate said it was only during the PDP-led administration that the 35 percent affirmative action plan for women was implemented in the country.
He said his commitment to 40 percent inclusion of women and youths in government positions is contained in his policy document, adding that education will be an integral pillar of his agenda to empower youths and advance the practice of democracy in the country.
The PDP presidential candidate also promised to run an inclusive government “that is sensitive to our diversities in all ramifications”.
In his remarks, Mahmud said Abubakar is a veritable source of inspiration to youths of the country.
He also expressed confidence in the PDP candidate’s ability to fix the broken socio-economic and political fabric of the country for the benefit of all Nigerians.
