Sir ojiofor,i will believe its a witchhunt if it was sule lamido or kwankwaso.atiku is no threat and will never be a threat to buhari politically.atiku has never won adamawa state except in 1999 when he contested as a governor.in 2003,pdp won adamawa through obasanjo's national commando rigging system similar to a political blitzkrieg.in 2007,yaradua won adamawa through obj's tactics.i dont think atiku won any state and even if he did,it was not up to 3 states.in 2011,he could not even win the votes of adamawa delegates in pdp.in 2015 apc primaries,kwankwaso beat him hands down to 2nd place.during the apc governorship primaries in adamawa,his candidate mijinyawa lost to bindowo.buhari won adamawa through the efforts of babachir lawal,nyarko and aisha.so,atiku is no threat to buhari.he can only win adamawa and taraba narrowly.up buhari.

Ojiofor:


My brother,I am not working for any politician neither I am here to defend any political interest,I rep my concience and I stand on the side of truth and justice.You and I knows something is going on between Alhaji Atiku's camp and that of Emir of Nigeria nor matter how we wanna spin it.

ikaiko:
. You amuse me a lot. You are defending a man who can sacrifice the whole country for his private gain. He doesn't care if over 30,000 pple lose their jobs so long as he is power. A man who claims to be fighting corruption but cannot prosecute those in his party and cabinet. Until and unless Babachir lawal is prosecuted, Pmb anti-corruption war remains a ruse.

Chairman,why are you and others missing the main point? Why not concentrate on the issues raised in the report to see whether its true or not? Why are you lots so biased and bitter? Why all the endless online rants? Did intels owing tax as alleged by firs? The claims by free zone authority,is it true or not? Even if buhari is witch or wizard hunting atiku,its not a crime or unconstitutional after all atiku's firm has been accused of criminal breaches.the time spent here attacking buhari should be channelled into other productive things.lets find out if intels is culpable or not because that is more serious an takes precedence over any claim of political hunting.up buhari.

SalamRushdie:
Buhari that has never created a single job either as a private citizen or President is willing to jeopardise 30 thousand jobs over night because of a political witch hunt that will only end up as a negative on our economic imprint ..this is how he lost oil revenues of over 50 billion dollars chasing Tompolo for 13 billion naira ..Buhari needs to receive sense but I doubt if that head can learn at all

gare:


And you think with this kind of actions you would attract investors into the country, Intels has a lot of workers directly and Indirectly, with the action of the federal government a lot a jobs will be lost, why can't they sit with Intel's and see how the contract can be modified to see that the workers keep their jobs.

GavelSlam:
Intels doesn't have 30,000 workers directly or indirectly.

Should other players be involved in the game, they would require experienced and new hands for execution of their industry.

Should new players be involved there would be no monopoly.

Intels ran out of Angola with their tails between their legs. The Angolan logistics industry hasn't suffered as a result.

If Intels refuses to comply with government regulations, they should be punished accordingly.

SalamRushdie:


Another Sadist on the loose

GavelSlam:


Provide evidence and stop pulling figures out of your bum.

You cannot spin complete and outright lies in public space and expect people would swallow without being circumspect.

In addition, competition is the lifeblood of capitalism.
Antitrust laws and regulations are effected in even more advanced societies.

If Intels cannot accept government regulations and policies they should take their business away as they did in Angola.

SalamRushdie:


What part of govt regulation are they no complying with? Please don't tell me TSA because that's null and void

GavelSlam:


TSA.

You are neither government nor court to determine what is null and void.

There's also the overt and covert method of monopoly Intels has adopted over the years, which precipitated in President Yar'adua making policies to redistribute port handling to more players.

If Intels likes its business, it must abide by government regulations or face liquidation.

SalamRushdie:


Only govt money belong in the TSA , you don't expect firm that has daily financial obligations and reccurent expenditure to meet up to pay its 28 percent share of revenue into the govt coffers , the only money that belongs in the TSA is govts share which is 72 percent and Intel had been remitting that without problem to the TSA till this political witch hunt began ...When Abacha had political problems with Atiku he went the Board in wisdom instead of going for the company just like it extremely dull President is doing and when prices of goods rise in the coming weeks due to the glut this witch hunt will cause on imports and exports the same Buhari will again blame the past leaders
