"My Salary Will Be N1 If I'm Elected The President" - Atiku

All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar would simply be contented with N1 as his annual salary if he emerges the President of the Nigeria come 2015. The decision, according to The Guardian’s source is predicated on the avowed commitment of the leading APC presidential to “give back to Nigeria for all that the country has done for him.”

Atiku had at the declaration of his intent to contest the 2015 presidential election said he would continue to give back to Nigeria for as long as he is able and capable. The source confided in The Guardian that the balance of the salary that would have accrued to Atiku Abubakar should he emerge as President will be deployed to people-oriented charities of his choice.

“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,” the source said.

However, when contacted Mallam Garba Shehu, Coordinator of Atiku Media Office said he was unaware of this development. He, however, said 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.
