Meanwhile, Atiku has called out the federal government over outsourcing of projects meant to benefit Nigerians.
Atiku cited airing of the ongoing Big Brother Naija in South
Africa and unveiling of Super Eagles World Cup jersey in London as some of
instances in which the government had outsourced Nigeria.
The former Vice President, while speaking at Silverbird Man
of the year, also condemned treatment of Nigerian elites in hospitals abroad.
He said “Our elite are treated in Europe. #BBNaija is being
broadcast from South Africa and @Nike is unveiling our FIFA World Cup Jersey in
London. Is this the extent to which we have outsourced Nigeria?
“The solution is to enact laws to prevent leaders from
diverting public funds from the public health sector to the treatment of the
elite in the best hospitals abroad.
“If you can afford it from your own private resources, then
pay for it. But do not make the tax payer pay for it.
“We must accept that the difference between Nigerians is not
North and South, Christian and Muslim or PDP and APC.
“The difference is between good and bad people and we must
demonstrate that the good are much more than the bad, “Atiku said
