Atiku Promises To Resume Oil Exploration In Kolmani, Revive Mabilla Power Project
The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has promised to resume oil exploration activities at the Kolmani oil field, which he said were suspended under the present administration. In the last general election, Atiku secured a significant number of votes in Bauchi State while contesting on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has promised to resume oil exploration activities at the Kolmani oil field, which he said were suspended under the present administration.
He also pledged to restore electricity subsidies and revive work on the abandoned Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project in the North-East.
Atiku made these promises during his presidential campaign rally in Bauchi State on Saturday.
Speaking at the rally, he said, “I will restore electricity subsidies. I also promise to restore security in the North-East sub-region and the country at large. I further promise to continue oil exploration activities in Kolmani so that we can have additional sources of revenue.”
On his part, Director-General of the ADC Presidential Campaign, Mr. Austin Akobundu, criticised what he described as the poor governance and misguided policy decisions of the present administration.
“There is hunger in the land, and the man who will eradicate it is Atiku,” he said.
In the last general election, Atiku secured a significant number of votes in Bauchi State while contesting on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
