So you basically shared money to all the senators from the campaign funds.

What exactly were you giving them funds for?

Re: ‘I Am Not Corrupt,’ Atiku Tells EFCC by brainpower(m): 8:46pm On Nov 14, 2016
What I find baffling is that the same EFCC are the ones that interviewed him instead of investigating him. Oh I forgot, Atiku is a senior member of APC.
On other note, Atiku is highly connected in this country, only one person is stopping him from being the president and that's OBJ himself.

He said: “of course my boss, the president, investigated the story and found out that indeed every Senator got contributions from the campaign fund which I was managing. So where is the corruption in that?”

Nawao, I can now confirmed to you that there is no sincerity in this out Anti corruption war, is that not same campaign fund that our anti corruption war are chasing people for since assumption of office. I think for us to clear the doubt this man should join them in Kuje prison for prosecution as well. It's my own humble opinion not against any body or region

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied being a corrupt person, a label that was created in the wake of a political tussle between him and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Atiku made this known in an interview with some officials from the media team of the EFCC, published in the latest edition of the anti-graft agency’s Zero Tolerance Magazine.

Responding to a question on how allegations of corruption became his albatross in the race for the presidency in 2006, he said: “well if Atiku is corrupt, he would have been found guilty of corruption by all the panels and probes and cases brought before courts.”

He said: “I remember the only corruption indictment against me was a white paper which was cooked up by our own administration over night to including the very EFCC that I helped found and other cabinet ministers, which I challenged in court.”

He said: “the court rightly dismissed all those indictments as being mere political; and till today nobody has ever indicted me of corruption.”

Also responding to allegations of corruption leveled against him by the Governor of Kaduna State, el-Rufai’s in his book Accidental Public Servant, Atiku said el-Rufai did not give any evidence or prove where I was corrupt.

He added that: “this is the same el-Rufai and others who incorporated Transcorp during my time as Vice President and offered me shares and I declined.”

“I wrote to them officially to say it was unethical of me to have accepted those offers, so, where is the corruption toga coming from.” He said.

Asked to explain the bribe scandal of N50 million, involving Senator Ibrahim Mantu, Jonathan Zwingina and others during el-Rufai ministerial confirmation screening, Atiku said: “No, that is absolutely not true.”

Atiku noted that el-Rufai ran to him and complained that he was denied confirmation by the Senate, adding that he called Mantu and others and confronted them.

He said: “It is also on record, because I controlled campaign funds, every Senator benefited from those funds; and el-Rufai now went and said those campaign funds were meant to be bribe.”

He said: “of course my boss, the president, investigated the story and found out that indeed every Senator got contributions from the campaign fund which I was managing. So where is the corruption in that?”

This people can be funny. Atiku as a member of APC has been a saint in the eyes of EFCC. Last week the governor of Adamawa state said Atiku will likely contest the 2019 presidential elections & people are already becoming threatened and they have started playing the corruption card. God help us.

This is quiet funy, gradually time is of the essence as 2019 tickles. Atiku is perfecting all the pot holes that will stop him from contesting for the number 1 position. Well i will advise him to go and settle with OBJ or else he will he risk sinking his money.

Atiku is as guilty as the word itself, he should just go and enjoy spending the money he stole he's lucky no one has his time. Atuki is not a option.

Maybe he should tell us why Nigerian airways had to pack up. Scumbag

Obasanjo really did serious damage to Atiku's political career. He has not been able to recover from the smear campaign Obasanjo launched against him.

Atiku is doing all he can to warm his way into the hearts of the electorate. I hopefully pray he succeeds this time.

If you wish Atiku to succeed in is political ambitions then you don't wish Nigeria well.
It's IMPOSSICANT. Obasanjo is not a saint but dealing with an over ambitious V.P like Atiku was for a good reason.
Re: ‘I Am Not Corrupt,’ Atiku Tells EFCC by tolastikha: 4:51am On Nov 15, 2016
Its on record that all those that have been recommended by the Political Deviner "Obasanjo" to Nigerians as corruption free personalities are the One that have dealt the heaviest blows on Nigeria as a nation. The only person he has never recommended is Atiku. 2019 election, we are going to recommend Atiku for ourselves.

Atiku is a slippery snake and all his political associates need be wary of him. Im presently reading former President Obassanjo"s book 'my watch', and in his narrative he has nothing but uncomplimentary words to describe Atiku and his shady character. I believe obassanjo's account
and would you disbelieve atikus account about thief obasanjo
