Atiku & Peter Obi. |
Presidential candidate
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President of Nigeria,
Atiku Abubakar, has unveiled a national competition that will allow Nigerians
interrogate his policy document.
The
competition, tagged ‘Voice of the People Competition’, kicks off on Sunday, 2
December and will end on 24 December, 2018.
It
will be recalled that Atiku had during the unveiling of his policy document via
a Facebook Live broadcast on 19 November, said: “I want these policies to be
our policies - yours and mine. I want to hear your ideas to get Nigeria working
again. So I will give the opportunity to anyone in Nigeria to have their
say on national television."
The
Atiku Presidential Campaign boasts of this idea as the first time in the world
that a presidential candidate will be calling for a national debate on his/her
policy action plan. This is the world's first!
Atiku,
as a candidate who keeps his campaign promises, will on Sunday 2nd December at 1pm launch a
competition via a video broadcast on his Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/atiku.org)
that will see 6 members of the Nigerian public given a one minute slot on
national television to say what they think needs to be done to help get Nigeria
working again.
Contributors

each of all the six geo-political zones of Nigeria who will have the
opportunity to have their recording played in a national telecast between
January 1 to 6, 2019.
Any

posting it on their respective Facebook, Instagram or Twitter account by 24th
December. Competitors are requested to add to their post the hashtag,
#LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain and the state where they reside. Interested
individuals can post a video selfie or any other form of video - the only limit

The

and select one winner from each geo-political zone. One key criterion for
the winners will be the number of engagements their entry generates.

The
judging criteria will be based on the following: the originality of the idea to

number of engagements in social media the video has generated.
