“President Buhari alone cannot turn around the fortunes of the country”

Atiku made the remark in his May Day message to Nigerians, which was released by his media office on Sunday, May 1, 2016.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar visits President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on June 16, 2015.

It reads:

President Buhari alone cannot turn around the fortunes of the country. It requires everyone – elected and appointed officials, the legislature and the judiciary, the public and private sectors and ordinary Nigerians – working together in faith and commitment to bring about the desired change.

With dwindling revenue from oil, it has become imperative for us to bake a bigger cake that will be big enough for all partakers. To achieve this, we need to be more creative as a government and more productive as a people.

We all need to make sacrifices in line with the realities of the time. It is not enough to ask workers to make sacrifices while public office holders are ostensibly immune to it. Such a situation promotes industrial disharmony.
