I have refused my children to go abroad and reside, I don’t believe in it – Atiku laments state of the country as Nigerians migrate on daily basis

Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic party, PDP Atiku Abubakar has lamented the condition of the country under the current administration. He said the trend has since been reversed from what it was during his tenure as Vice President.

He stated this in a meeting held with the stakeholders of the south-east PDP on Tuesday, in Enugu.

According to him, Nigerians would return home to invest in several opportunities in the country but the reverse is now the case.

He said; “In the government in which I served as Vice President, you saw Nigerians returning from abroad to invest in several opportunities in the country. Because I experienced it in my university.

“When I made sure I provide international standards, so many Nigerians from the United States and Europe came back not to Lagos or Abuja but to north east Yola. They came back. All what we need to do is to make sure we make our country attractive for them to return and they will return,” he said.

“Under the APC, the trend has since reversed. People cannot wait to run away from Nigeria. All of you have relatives, children who are running away to United States, Canada. I have my own. I have refused anyone of them to go to abroad and reside because I don’t believe it. We have to stay in this country.”
