Plagiarism scandal

In September 2016 President Buhari came under heavy criticism after a newspaper report found him using plagiarized speech during launching of a national re-orientation campaign tagged “Change begins with me”. The speech was later found to be lifted from the 2008 inaugural speech of former US President Barack Obama The presidency later apologized and says the blunder was caused by "overzealous staff" and "Those responsible" will be sanctioned. However, week later a deputy director in the State House linked to the speech was redeployed and presidency assured Nigerian public that it has taken steps to avoid a repeat of such an embarrassing occurrence by providing digital tools in the State House that detect plagiarism, similar to those used by editors and academics around the world

POLITICAL JOURNEY
SDP 1990- 1992, PDP, 1998-2006 AC, 2006 - 2007
PDP 2007 - 2014, APC 2014-2017, PDP 2017-

ECONOMY WISE
ATIKU APPEARS MORE INDUSTRIOUS AS Atiku started out in the real estate business during his early days as a Customs Officer. In 1974 he applied for and received a 31,000 naira loan to build his first house in Yola, which he put up for rent. From proceeds of the rent he purchased another plot, and built a second house. He continued this way, building a sizeable portfolio of property in Yola.

In 1981 he moved into agriculture, acquiring 2,500 hectares of land near Yola to start a maize and cotton farm. The business fell on hard times and closed in 1986. "My first foray into agriculture, in the 1980s, ended in failure," he wrote in an April 2014 blog.[4]

He then ventured into trading, buying and selling truckloads of rice, flour and sugar.

His most important business move came while he was a Customs Officer at the Apapa Ports. Gabrielle Volpi, an Italian businessman in Nigeria, invited him to set up Nigeria Container Services (NICOTES), a logistics company operating within the Ports. NICOTES would go on to provide immense wealth to Atiku. Conflict of interest accusations have since trailed him on account of his involvement in business while a civil servant, who exercised supervisory authority.

On his part, Atiku has defended the decision, saying his involvement was limited to the ownership of shares (which government rules permitted), and that he was not involved in day-to-day running of the business. NICOTES would later be rebranded INTELS, and go on to feature prominently in accusations of money laundering levelled against Atiku by the US government during his Vice Presidency.

Atiku's business empire also includes a beverage manufacturing plant in Yola, as well as an animal feed factory.

WHILE BUHARI had declared the followings: 1. N30 million to his name. He also had only one bank account, with the Union Bank.
2. 5 homes, and two mud houses in Daura
3. 2 undeveloped plots of land, one in Kano and the other in Port Harcourt.
4. Own Farms, an orchard and a ranch. The total number of his holdings in the farm include 270 heads of cattle, 25 sheep, five horses, a variety of birds and a number of economic trees”.
5. Uses a number of cars, two of which he bought from his savings and the others supplied to him by the federal government in his capacity as former Head of State. The rest were donated to him by well-wishers after his jeep was damaged in a Boko Haram bomb attack on his convoy in July 2014.
6. President Buhari “had shares in Berger Paints, Union Bank and Skye Bank”.

Yes, Atiku is a heavyweight, but without Tinubu, the opposition cannot be the same. And I just can't see Tinubu joining PDP, a party he fought for 16 good years. Tinubu cannot abandon Osinbajo.
It looks like it is Buhari till 2023, Igbo Presidency in 2023.

Are you not tired of copying and pasting this your balderdash everywhere.

You make it sound like Tinubu is Nigerian. People are angry and hungry. 2.5million was the difference in 2015. That gap will be closed.

dumb Nigerian's, plying right into the northerners plan, simple game if atiku wins he will certainly come for second tenor and that will give the north extra 16yrs b4 the will give one Yoruba man 4yrs and still say he is not doing well then use one of their many plans to take it back may this time somtin stronger then boko haram or Fulani herns men. so if u ask me let buhari continue with his clueless govt. afta all he has a professor to help him and let all alow atiku to be.
