In 2015 we generated $41bn in Foreign Direct Investment, but now, we attracted only $12bn last year. Even our stock market has lost over N2Trillion in one year. You can’t shut down your shop and be chasing criminals. #2019debate
What we are subsidizing today is inefficiency. There is no way a country can have N400bn for health which translates to N5 per citizen, yet paying trillions for subsidy. #2019debates
Our government will be demand driven, not supply driven. We will always consult with the people at the stage of planning and not only at the stage of signing. #2019Debate #AfricaFreeTradeAgreement
Currently, it is more expensive to bring out goods from Apapa port than it is to bring in goods from Europe. #2019Debate

For many years, corruption has remained the leitmotif of leadership failure in Nigeria.
Painfully, at a time Nigeria ought to have moved on with other countries, we are still fixated on power supply, functional healthcare delivery and other essential things that ought not to be bothering us today.
We are also saddled with a gross imbalance in national appointments as if others are mere spectators in Nigeria. Added to this is a lack of future for our children.

Dear @AbdulMahmud01, as Governor, I was not constitutionally empowered to arm SARS or any unit of the Nigeria Police Force or the Army. So, we never bought arms and ammunition for them because we were not legally empowered to do so.
We only supported them from time to time with operational vehicles and other logistics.

Therefore, I never armed SARS throughout my eight years as Anambra Gov. I only worked with the security agencies, which are all Federal establishments.
I was never involved in posting of security agents to Anambra State throughout my stay in office. I worked with the ones that were posted through the Commissioner of Police or heads of other agencies.

Fixing Nigeria’s infrastructure must be private-sector led. All the government must do is provide the support and what we can call a guarantee for the private sector to be able to build infrastructure. #AtikuMeetsBusinessCommunity
It took the present government 3 years to come out with the Economic Recovey and Growth Plan (ERGP) document and they are yet to meet 30% of it. Before going in, we already have a plan. #AtikuMeetsBusinessCommunity
I assure you, in turning around the economy, construction will be critical. However, it won’t be done as it is being done today where the country is being put in debt. #AtikuMeetsBusinessCommunity

We have millions of Nigerians who don’t know where the next meal will come from. For the past two months, our universities are closed. These are the things that should bother us. #PoliticsToday
When the governments talks about the amount of money they spend on infrastructure, the question is, where is the infrastructure? #PoliticsToday
