Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has stated that he and Rotimi Amaechi are co-conspirators against the current administration’s “weaponisation of poverty”.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election made the declaration during an event organised to mark Amaechi’s 60th birthday in Abuja on Saturday.
Atiku said that both of them would continue to team up to minimise poverty in the country.
“You may call me a conspirator or anything, but that is why we are in this alliance, to make sure we don’t allow them to continue their weaponising policies.
“One of our star conspirators is Rotimi Amaechi. Therefore, we are here to wish you many happy returns, and we will continue to conspire with you to minimise poverty and ensure that state machinery is not used to weaponise it,” Atiku stated.
