2019: We endorsed Atiku because he is a visionary leader ― ALDI founder

ONE  of the founders of Atiku Leadership Development Initiative (ALDI), Hon. Okechukwu Dominic Nwuzor has said that the group adopted the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP), front-runner, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar because he is a visionary leader who has remained untainted in Nigeria politics for the past 30 years.

Secondly, according to Nwuzor, Nigerian youths want to take the front seat in policy formulation that will affect the life of the common man positively in the present dispensation.

Nwuzor spoke on arrival in Nigeria from Britain where he inaugurated the London branch of ALDI.

According to him, “In the candidature of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, we saw visionary leadership defined by these four Cs and four Rs qualities: credibility, competence, capacity and compassion, and the four Rs which has project Atiku as responsible, resolute, resilient and reliable”.

All these qualities, he said, can be validated by Atiku’s long-standing successes in the public and private sectors spanning over forty years which if he brings to bear as elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2019 Nigerians will smile as he will get Nigeria working again.

He added: “We have to come together to make things to work. That is why I am urging all the Nigerian professionals both at home and abroad, especially those representing us positively in the UK, so please answer the clarion call and see Atiku Abubakar project as a national project.

Nwuzor said he is happy that the London chapter chairman of the group, also sees things in the same light that if elected, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will run an all-inclusive government with affirmative quota of 30% women and 40% young people.

According to him, “if you know what you are doing, and you can contribute to the development of the nation, Atiku will embrace you, while those that require training will be given the opportunity”, he noted.

Nwuzor said he was once in the Diaspora, and he knew how it was and why he left Nigeria and went overseas.

“Nobody anywhere would say he or she doesn’t love home. If the basic amenities, the enabling environment are put in place, I know a lot of us would want to return home”, he added.

He imagined how much requests for feeding, school fees, house rent and the likes they must have received in the last three years, adding: “all these things are the indicators, the indices to tell you that there is a big economic meltdown in Nigeria, that people are really suffering, that people are going through hell.

“Instead of the Diaspora people to be sending money home for investment like they used to do many years ago, they now send money for consumption. So, I ask this question; which way Nigeria?”

For these reasons, those in the Diaspora, especially the professionals should know that a vote for Atiku Abubakar, is a vote for self
