Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the plan by the Federal Government to dispose of some national assets and use the proceeds to fund the 2019 budget.
Atiku, in a statement by its media office in Abuja on Wednesday, described the plan as irresponsible.
He said it was ridiculous that the Buhari administration was planning to sell assets that were built by the PDP despite the claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that the successive PDP governments from 1999 to 2015 did not build any infrastructure.
The statement said, “The attention of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation has been drawn to a policy statement by the Muhammadu Buhari administration evincing a plan to sell national assets to fund the 2019 budget.
