Atiku Blows Hot; We can diversify our economy if we embrace restructuring - Atiku
Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has hit back at those criticizing his position on restructuring, saying the United Nation’s planned phase out of petrol and diesel-run cars by 2040 has vindicated him
In a statement by his media office in Abuja, Atiku recalled that exactly a week ago at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, he had predicted that the automobile industry will be moving away from diesel and petrol powered cars in favour of electric and alternative energy powered cars.
According to him, this is one of the reasons why Nigeria must restructure now or risk being bypassed by the global economy.
He said: “Of course the Wazirin Adamawa was criticized and painted as crying wolf by the usual suspects, yet only eight days later his view has been further vindicated by the news from the United Kingdom. This again serves as a warning to Nigeria to heed the warnings of patriots like Atiku Abubakar and others like him, that while we still have a few good years of income from oil we need to urgently diversify our economy which will only be possible if we embrace restructuring.”
