A live Facebook event has been planned for the commencement of Atiku Abubakar’s 2019 presidential campaign and the formal unveiling of a policy document that contains what he describes as his vision for a prosperous Nigeria.

Mr Abubakar has spent the preceding months criss-crossing the country, engaging Nigerians on key elements of his ‘Get Nigerian Working Again’ slogan, with economy, unity and national security taking the front-row.

Nigerians would now get a chance to see the entire document when it is unveiled on Facebook and Twitter at 12:00 p.m. today, which is only a few minutes away. The handles are: Facebook.com/Atiku.org and Twitter.com/Atiku.

Mr Abubakar said the document would be uploaded on his campaign website, Atiku.org, shortly after the live broadcast, and Nigerians home and away are encouraged to download and review its components.

Citizens are also advised to send in questions from Facebook and Twitter during the broadcast, using especially the official hashtag: #TheAtikuPlan.

Mr Abubakar, Nigeria’s vice-president between 1999 and 2007, is launching his campaign a day after President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled his re-election roadmap at an event in Abuja.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) lifted moratorium on the February 2019 general elections on November 18, 2018.

Over the weekend, Mr Abubakar, who emerged candidate of the main opposition platform at a convention widely deemed free and fair in October, travelled to Yola, the capital of his home state of Adamawa, from where he would appear on Facebook.

PREMIUM TIMES will update transcriptions of Mr Abubakar’s broadcast in real-time.

Keep this page regularly refreshed for the latest from the announcement when it kicks-off at noon.
