#Atiku said he will reduce the size of the FG & Privatise FG assets including NNPC?
Which means he will sack a lot of FG workers just like NITEL etc.
Selling major government assets indirectly means the new owners can hold the country & economy to ransom at any time.It is well.

Atiku is very daring and disrespectful to Nigerians. Imagine the rat in the cupboard threatening the owners of the house with rat poison that should kill him! He will sell NNPC even if it would cost him his life… He will enrich his friends… The man is a political terrorist!
