The PDP chieftain has in recent times visited political leaders and other interest groups across the country as he ramps up his consultations in the months leading to the elections.
The former Vice President had also met with editors on Wednesday where he reiterated his plans to restructure the country if elected in 2023. He equally shared his vision for the private sector and the economy.
“If you look at the thriving economies in the world, they allow the private sector to run the economy,” Atiku told the gathering.
“If you see the amount of work the government has to do in terms of constructing and decongesting our ports, and railway, and you have to borrow, I will rather concession most of these projects to the private sector and give them tax incentives. This will bring progress, prosperity, and peace”.(ChannelsTV)
