Atiku says he's one of the highest employers of labour in Nigeria

Former VP Atiku Abubakar says he is the highest employer of labour by any single private investor in Nigeria. He stated this in a series of tweets yesterday using the hash tag #LetsTalkJobs.

He also stated his efforts in driving policies that brought about the development of the telecoms sector in Nigeria where a large number of youths now work. See the tweets after the cut...

    1. He's actually not lying. I'm aware of one, if you've heard of "intels", then you'd understand. He has helped the labour market a lot! Ambition or NOT!

  31. Atiku we have heard! Now #PassTheMic. You forgot to add that u also contributed to the Power (electricity) problems in this country by bringing in Mikano Generators which created 'jobs' too. Why won't you brag about creating jobs when you are making 'policies' that will enrich you at the expense of our country's imminent power problems. How Selfish! #NothingForYouCome2015

  33. Please he should go and sit down...he is a very confused man looking for how to get elected at all cost, it's s high time the political elite "ATIKU" refrain from making statement like there are doing us a favor by providing basic social amenities ..

  34. I use to hate Atiku until I travel to Adamawa. Due to official duty I travel to entire norther states twice every year. And I challenge anyone to tell me who empowers his people in his states especially as Atiku. I want to specially wish him the best and to continue this good gesture. I appreciate him.

  39. Is it by mouth? Where are these 50,000 ghost workers? What is he manufacturing, or delivering? Where are his factories??? The time of just throwing figures in the air has passed. I just tire for these people.
    Also
    Since 'everyone reads Linda' I want to point out something here about the NIS disaster that no one is looking at. It's about the stadium officials. Why open just one or two gates?? If ur letting out the place, surely at least 10 or more gates must be open? Why just 2?, looks to me like they also were involved in this tragedy. Football matches have greater crowds and yet very little loss. Who' responsible for locking those people in?

  45. Atiku FYI the so called young people you created jobs for are d childern of 'elites' who got jobs because your class of politicians got slots for their candidates, denying innocent hardworking youths the opportunity of having their hard work rewarded. The electricity problems you jointly created by bringing in Mikano Generators has hindered the innocent hardworking young Nigerians the chance to fulfil their dreams since they can't afford generators/fuel #NoJobsNoIncome thus can't follow up on their ideas because there may be no NEPA light to work on their computers (if any). So pls hide ur selfiish ambition cos we know better now. You are really working 'hard' to buy our 'young' hearts by being 'active' on twitter, flaunting Arsenal Jersey, watching matches @ Emirate Stadium, telling us about ur support for ur wife Titi n ur daughters #GenderEqualityTinz. I applaud u only that ur antecedence/selfish ambition says otherwise #NothingForYouCome2015 #PassTheMic mbok

  48. Yes, tell them. Atiku, tll this forgetful Nigerians, ...tell them so that they vote for you in 2015.

    And please, while you're at it, tell them the original source of your income. From God or from bribery, kick back, kick front and corruption?

    Atiku made his money through corruption: corrupt enrichment. He laundered his dirty money and now he's a "pillar of society."

    Atiku is not only one of the highest employers of labour in Nigeria, he's also one of highest corrupt people in Nigeria.

    Btw,.... Atiku, get a social media agency, pr agency, social media manager or PA to handle your online pressence. Get off the internet, especially Twitter. You are TOO OLD to be handling your social media account.

Let us know how many people he has given employment and how much they are being paid for working for him. This looks to me like a subtle way to start campaigning for 2015 election.
