The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said that if he becomes president in 2023, he would raise 10 billion dollars to empower Nigerian youths.

The former vice president vowed to sell the four oil refineries in Nigeria and use the proceeds to empower Nigerian youths.

He disclosed this at the flag-off of PDP’s presidential and governorship campaign rally in Lagos State.

Atiku also said the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos State would end the dominance of a particular family.

He said: “If I’m elected, I will empower youths with 10 billion dollars to invest in youths and employment, and people have been asking how I will get the money.

“If I privatise Warri, Kaduna, and Port Harcourt refineries, we will get 10 billion to empower Nigerian youths. In the last 23 years, you have been governed by one family, but PDP is out to change that.”
