Atiku Looking Beyond Election, Prepares Plans To Run From Day One

Conscious of the mess being left behind by the outgoing Muhammadu Buhari administration and in a show of his confidence ahead of the election, PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has commenced moves towards running his planned reforms from day one.

According to sources, Atiku may also be preparing to send aides to foreign countries with similar trajectory with Nigeria to study their situations towards advising on workable solutions. 

The former vice-president it was gathered has set up a Policy and Advisory Committee to begin designing what he called “a robust framework for effective governance under an Atiku Abubakar federal administration”.

In the terms of reference given to the committee, Atiku said: “Given the enormity of the problems which will be bequeathed to the incoming administration, coupled with acute scarcity of resources, submit recommendations for prioritisation of the implementation of government policies and programmes contained in the blueprint to avoid losing focus and its attendant problems of indigestion.”

He asked the team to “undertake an extensive review of the organisational framework and structure of the entire Federal Government (including the presidency, ministries, departments and agencies) since the introduction of the presidential system of government in 1999 and determine if the structure as designed and built was truly reflective of the cornerstone principles of a presidential system of government in best practice environments, whether the structure over time has become too large, unwieldy, inefficient and expensive, whether in a fast-changing world, conscious and deliberate efforts have been made to adapt our system of government (which has been in operation for 23 years) to the needs and dictates of a 21st century world”.

The team it was gathered was also instructed by the former vice president to “undertake benchmark desk studies and tour of a few countries which represent the best models of presidential systems of government with a view to onboarding powerful lessons in how we can reorganise our various institutions of government to become highly competitive, effective and efficient,” it was revealed in reflection of the confidence of the Atiku camp winning the election.
