The presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, and former Vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that 40% of his cabinet would be women and youths.
According to him, "Nigeria under Buhari is now the world HQ for extreme poverty. If we are to change that, we must empower women & youths. Therefore, I give an undertaking that if by the grace of God, I am elected by you the good people of Nigeria, at least 40% of my cabinet would be women & youths." He said this on Wednesday 17 October, 2018 on his twiter handler.

Atiku has also said that his major policy is built upon job creation and employment. "Our policy document which is ready and will be unveiled soon, is dedicated primarily to creating an enabling environment for Nigerian youth and women to return to the path of wealth creation and gainful employment."
"The most effective way to fight crime is to provide opportunity to create wealth, because poverty is conducive to crime. If you elect me as your President, I will equip the security forces to fight terrorism and crime. Additionally, I will do what I do best - job creation."
