Nigerians have come for presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for saying he would enrich his friends rather than his family members if elected.

Atiku stated this on Wednesday while addressing the business community in Lagos at an event themed “Getting Nigeria’s Economy Working : A Pragmatic Approach.”

He said, “I am not going to enrich members of my family but my friends.

“Are my friends not entitled to be enriched? As long as there is no element of corruption there.”

He also vowed to reduce the size of the Federal Government and privatise national assets such as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

According to comments monitored by The Herald on social media, commentators are accusing the former vice president of attempting to elevate cronyism to the level of state policy for vowing to enrich his friends.
