The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has promised to revive the Lake Chad Basin toward sustaining agricultural activities in the area.
Atiku said this at the launch of his North-East campaign for the 2023 general election in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital on Wednesday.
The former Vice President stated that reviving Lake Chad Basin was part of the requests made by the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Ibn Garbai, when he visited him before the campaign.

He disclosed that Shehu also requested the resumption of crude oil search at Lake Chad as well as rural electricity supply for Borno villages and restoration of peace.
Atiku, however, promised to fulfil all the promises if elected as president in the 2023 presidential election.
Also speaking, the PDP vice-presidential candidate and Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, lauded the turnout of supporters at the campaign, adding that the party has always received a similar show of love across Nigeria.
Okowa urged the party faithful to vote for the party in the 2023 general election.
On his part, the Director-General of the PDP presidential campaign organisation and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, said the choice of the state for the campaign launch was based on the state party’s large supporters’ base.
