Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has reacted to a disclosure by World Bank president, Jim Yong Kim, that President Muhammadu Buhari sought the institution’s for Northern states.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, Atiku stated that news of assistance to Nigerians by international organisations was commendable.


The Waziri Adamwa said he’s “glad to hear the President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim and the IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde reiterate some of the points I’ve made recently in the ongoing conversations on restructuring as it relates to investing more in human capital, infrastructure, education for our people, etc.

“I’m also glad to learn of the work both organizations are doing, in partnership with the Federal Government to boost and stabilize our economic growth.”

Atiku, however, shared a link of a speech titled ‘Restructuring for a united and progressive Nigeria’ he deliveredat the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).

It reads in part: “My vision of Restructuring, will not make some States richer and others poorer. Restructuring is a win win for all Nigerian states.


“So let me make it clear beyond any possible doubt: the Restructuring I am proposing will not reduce the share of our nation’s oil revenues that any state currently enjoys. However, if we are to grow our revenues we need to change the way we think of our resources and nurture them for the benefit of all.]

“Let us start by not thinking as if our resources consist only of oil. Oil is not infinite. In fact, within the industry, the oil majors and multinationals are looking for ways to further invest in alternative energy because, in the next 10-20 years, the proportion of the energy market share that fossil fuels hold will shrink and almost vanish even as that of alternative energy is set to rise dramatically.”

Meanwhile, Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, has risen in defence of President Buhari.

Shettima said 5 governorsn including 3 from the South, were present when Buhari​ ​in July 2015,​ ​asked Kim​ ​to rebuilding of the Northeast which has suffered massive destruction​ ​as a result of Boko Haram insurgency,

This clown thinks we'll make the same Buhari mistake with him again.

see you shooting yourself


my ppl let's be wise.

APC and PDP are not the only party we have in Nigeria. let's look at other parties bcz the two parties don't have any other candidate to offer or better still let's continue with Jubril

why?
because the angel you know is better than...

please, atiku will be a bigger mistake.

I would suggest, my Igbo brothers not to vote anybody vai 2019. the day of election will be nsala day

You will find a needle in a haystack first, before you see an Hausa Fulani that will restructure Nigeria. Unfortunately, the two fucckked up party have ceded the presidential slot to the north. we are at the mercy of these backward herdsmen. oh lawd

It is nice he is coming out to define his idea of restructuring before people get deceived and their hope blown up

We are waiting ...

Restructuring actually mean different thing to different persons.

Is Atiku scared of the hammer that is about to fall on him from the northern allimanjiris for speaking in of restructuring. How the hell do you plan to do that, you restrure and still plan to share the oil money with the lazy northerners. Well is left to the south South if they agreed to his plan.

What is this one saying ?
This statement will go down in history as the day Atiku lost his chance to claim the presidency.
Oga it is not Nigeria's oil money. It belongs to the oil producing states which generously share it with Nigeria.
Bloody northern parasites are all the same.

here to watch ipobs cry and suffer deep disappointment. The guy they were hoping will channel their hatred through have let them down hard or should I say bigly

Is Atiku so scared of the hammer that is about to land on him from the northern alimanjiri.how the hell do you plan to do that, you restructure and you still plan to share the oil money with the lazy northerners.I bet the South South will accept you restructuring ldear.

Atiku should go and find somewhere to sit,what else does he want

As 4 boda atiku, we understand ur consistency on media these days, don't form saint 4us sir. We understand 2019 is the main reason. Hope u get there and rice don't turn #90 like boda buhari

So no hope of restructuring after all. North is always North

All they know is oil money... Thieving Northerners

Naija problem na only fight go fit solve am. Peace no follow for this one. We can hope on God but even the most righteous of people have died while waiting on him.

Forget the presidency then.

You must be a joker to think the current structure will continue to exist.

Any kind of restructuring that doesn't change or alter the status quo especially the current sharing of revenue is no restructuring....

It's official.... Atiku is against restructuring

oh just how atiku committed suicide. ..

Trying to protect his northern votes

Ok

With oil revenue or without oil revenue the north will remain the same useless north until they change their cultural beliefs/practices.
