Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has come under attack over plans to sell NNPC if elected as president in 2019.
Atiku, Wednesday, described the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, as a “Mafia organization.”
Speaking during an interactive session with the business community in Lagos, the former Vice President declared that he would privatise NNPC even if doing so would cost him his life.
Atiku’s comment has since stirred diverse reactions from Nigerians on Twitter:
While some are at home with his plan to privatise NNPC, others are against it, describing it as a plan for PDP to loot funds.
Here are some comments gathered by us from Twitter:
@Geomohamusa “PDP is claiming this administration did not provide jobs and now the same PDP are planning to put people out of job. Because what do you think if he succeeded in selling NNPC, wahala dey o.”
@Astropus “He’s going to sell it to himself. That is sure. Luckily, you won’t smell the office. Obasanjo was right, “don’t vote for criminals”.
@Engralonge1 “It is quite unfortunate we have this man in our country, so you don’t think how to have more companies in our country, your mission is to sell or privatize the one that is not enough. God forbid to have you as our president.
@Omotaye “Let him privatize the NNPC and see if there would be changes. NEPA was privatized and Nigerians have experienced tremendous changes. PHCN and BEDC are far better than the NEPA of before.”
