Atiku Promises To Have N1 Salary If He Becomes President

Atiku Abubakar who is a Presidential
aspirant of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) states that in case of his presidency
his annual salary will be only N1.
According to The Guardian, this decision of

the presidential candidate is based on the
intention to “give back to Nigeria for all that
the country has done for him.”
In the declaration of his 2015 presidential
ambition Atiku states that he will continue to
give back to Nigeria for as long as he is able
and capable.
The Guardian’s source is confident that
Atiku’s announced salary will be mainly
aimed at people-oriented charities of his
choice.
The source said: “I believe that Turaki may
be considering taking a token salary of N1
not because he is endowed like so many
others but to underscore his preparedness to
make personal sacrifices in the quest to
rebuild and reinvent our dear country and by
so doing engender a culture of sacrifice in
his envisaged administration”.
However, Coordinator of Atiku Media Office
Mallam Garba Shehu said that he hadn’t any
information on this question and didn’t hear
anything about his decision. But he adds
that nothing is off the table at the policy
review retreat.
Meanwhile, the Policy Review Retreat
promised by Atiku at the unveiling of his
economic policy in Abuja October 15 kicks
off on Monday at the Obasanjo Presidential
Library in Abeokuta the Ogun State capital.
