The Women and Youths Support Group for Atiku 2019 (WAYS) has debunked the allegations that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and PDP presidential hopeful, has promised to privatize the oil and gas sector if he becomes the President of Nigeria.
In a joint statement signed by the National President/Global Co-coordinator, Princess Kemi Adesanya-Eboda and National General Secretary/Director Research and Strategy, Mr Christian Aburime, the group described the allegation as “callous and anti-people.”
WAYS described the condemnation of Atiku’s genuine pronouncements on privatizing some parts of the oil and gas sector as being misconstrued and blown out of proportion by some groups to castigate the former vice president.
The group noted that Atiku was speaking the minds of most Nigerians who desire a drastic change in the oil sector because of the alleged monumental corruption associated with it. It also described the current onslaughts against Atiku as mere propaganda by some groups who were currently not comfortable with his towering popularity ahead of 2019 general elections.
