2023: CAN's Roadmap For Nigeria Conforms With My Thoughts — Atiku

The presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has stated that CAN’s Policy Roadmap for a Future Nigeria conforms with his thoughts in a book he published.

Atiku disclosed this during his session with the Christian leadership’s interactive session with presidential candidates in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to the former vice president, there is no difference between CAN's policy and his position on the nation's future as seen in his policy document and his book.

“I have listened to the presentation of CAN document and I can tell you the CAN document is totally in conformity with my thoughts in a book which I published when I was the Vice President and this led to a fundamental disagreement with my boss as well as my constituents.

"There is no difference between my book and CAN’s presentation.

"I stand before you not to campaign but to tell u the honest truth, what you have presented is what I have always believed in. And if I have the opportunity, I swear to God I will do it.

“Oil did not send me to school, my parents paid cattle tax, market tax, radio tax and these were the taxes that sent me school from primary to university.

"If God has given you gold or oil, take your oil or gold but I will tax you.

“Why should we be fighting over resources that have been endowed to whoever it is endowed to”, Atiku stated.
