Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has criticized the appointment of the heads of security agencies by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The presidential candidate for the PDP characterized the appointment of 17 Northerners as the heads of various security agencies as unbalanced.

Atiku stated this on Wednesday in Lagos during an interactive session with members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors.

He said, “PDP will form a government of national unity. We will bring members of the opposition who would have lost and then, of course, we will move on from there. This is when only the ways to unify this country and we will now begin to move.

“Today, we have 17 heads of various security agencies. All of them come from the North; I will not do that. I will make sure that every geopolitical zone is represented in these security outfits. This is also another way you can unify this country and give every part of this country a sense of belonging.

“By the time you double the strength of the Nigeria Police Force, maybe you will be talking about 700,000 or so. You will have reduced unemployment. So, we will extend that operation to the armed forces. By the time you finish doing that, you will find that you would have taken more than one million people out of the unemployment market.”

In the meantime, Atiku has declared his intention to continue the economic policies pursued by the PDP between 1999 and 2007.

According to him, the PDP’s economic policies aimed to liberalize the economy and promote the private sector in order to generate jobs and wealth.

“Liberalising the economy is broad. Empowering the private sector is broad, and of course, continues with the privatisation of our public enterprises. In other words, (we will create) a more private sector-driven economy,” he said.
