Mallam Garba Shehu, Media Adviser to
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar,
issued a strong statement Wednesday in
Abuja defending his boss in reaction to
corruption accusations made by former
President Olusegun Obasanjo in an EFCC
magazine “Zero Tolerance”.
Obasanjo had said in the interview that the
former Vice President risked jail if he
travelled to the United States.
“The former President is wrong. It is widely
known that Atiku didn’t enter government
broke. He declared his assets at the
commencement of his Vice Presidency and
did so at the end of his term as required by
the constitution, which is a sacred
document to Atiku,” Garba Shehu said.
According to him, “Atiku, who is currently
returning from China after leading a private
economic trade mission at the invitation of
the Chinese government, travels often and
has a well-documented record of building
industries and putting thousands of
Nigerians to work. And this record, quite
frankly, has been thoroughly investigated.”
While reiterating that Atiku has no case
against him by any arm of the law in any
country in the world, including the United
States, Shehu observed that “President
Obasanjo’s repeated ‘jokes’ about Turaki not
being able to go to America have become
cliché, tiresome and not true.”
The Media Adviser recalled that
in 2006, former President
Obasanjo sent his National
Security Adviser (NSA) to stop
Atiku from travelling to the US,
saying that the Vice President
risked arrest on arrival.
He said that Turaki spurned that
advice, left Nigeria to land at the
Andrews Air Force Base, the
official airport of the US
government, to receive the best
reception ever on a visit to
America.
“So, we are used to those taunts,” he said.
He noted that when the former Vice
President left office shortly before late Musa
Yar’Adua was inaugurated as President,
Atiku spent three months in the US, adding
that if they (US authorities) wanted him for
anything, they would have met him.
“It is time to start dealing in facts.
Specifically, the fact that Atiku’s visa to visit
the United States has been recently
renewed.
“Another fact is Atiku is one of the most
investigated politicians in Nigerian history.
And every investigation, whether politically
motivated here at home or by the FBI
abroad, has yielded the same result every
time: not guilty.
“If Atiku is guilty of anything, it is crushing
persistent attempts at re-writing our
constitution.
“Atiku has chosen the path of optimism and
hope. Moving forward, he will continue
working to fuel Nigeria’s economy through
investment and job creation, while also
passionately and persistently defending our
young democracy,” Garba said.

Alamesiegha, Orrji Kalu , Bukola Saraki, Lucky
Igbinedo, infact there is a long list of looters
who should be dealt with if Nigeria need to

The best way for Atiku to prove Obasanjo wrong is to travel to the US and not the verbal refutation.

I can still remember Jennifer Douglas!

new pdp will soon be factionalised.

He that sows wind shall reap whirlwind

Hmmmm nAwaooo.

Na Who We Go bElieve Now

MODS Front Page Pls.

Baba hadly talk nd anytime he talks dia must b atom of truth nd empirical of fact. Hmm,God is watching una thru his cctv

Garba Shehu,
Who do you think you are trying to fool??
Perhaps some mugus/nonentities from your
geo-political zone. Under what circumstance
did your benefactor leave the Customs
Service in 1993 as a uniformed officer?
Definitely not gloriously or as a faithful
servant of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
For someone that has been so used to free
money, OBJ’s comment on him has not come
as a surprise to discerning Nigerians.
With people like Turaki desperate to rule
Nigeria, we are all doomed and the
economic life-line of the state is bound to be
JEOPARDIZED if successful in his bid.

Oyaa we dn say BABA dey lie...ngwanu flex usa nah mak we put baba to shame

Nice one.... 1-1..... 2 old fo-ols fighting, lets see where it will end. But am happy, cus it will reveal some secrets to the populace. Go on sohun jare

In some ones mother tongue, gulity or not gulity. Oya turaki travel 2 USA 2 prove u7 rightousness

AWA MONEY. . .UNA MONEY. . . AFRICAN MONEY!!!!

HOMOSEXUALITY RESPONSES TO OBAMA
Robert Mugabi President of Zimbabwe Tells
President Barack Obama Of USA "If you truly
want me to accept Homosexuality in my
country, let me marry you, if it isn't easy"

.

May Allah save Nigerians from all these corrupt leaders! ..... (Both past AΩ̴̩̩̩̥d present)

Listened to George Zimmerman’s wife following his latest brush with the law recently. She said something to the effect that since his acquittal he seems to now consider himself “invisible.”.

There is just something about letting someone get away with something so obviously wrong that makes things worse for everyone else –including the inner caucus- on the long run.

I don’t believe we’ve seen the worst of Obasanjo yet. There is just no incentive for him to reform. By the way, he probably always thought Goodluck Jonathan was incompetent, he just didn’t see the point in saying so when he was rigging him into office.

Obasanjo is as corrupt as Abubakar Atiku!

Mr. Aladin:

shut up! If Atiku warants prison Obj warants hanging.

I wonder why some foools still call Obj Baba here was a man given the whole opportunity in the world to re-write the history book of this country for good (from 1999 - 2007) unfortunately, he took Nigeria to the worst record of corruption (we were twice named no 1 most corrupt country by Transparency International)! Truly under a saner clime, Obj deserves to be lynched, what a shameless old man he is!

Some wuld say OBJ was a good president odas will disagree, but, when a man sees his end he will want to know how history will see him. OBJ has bin called the man that joined the North in decaying this country, some say he save Nigerian and helped put democracy in Nigeria, but OBJ has decided to be known as the activist that helped change Nigeria dat he almost destroyed. If he is looking for redemption he needs to open up to the world with his heart open and ask for redemption, with all this is "16yr old girl" tactics is just embarrassing for him.

Tolexander: The best way for Atiku to prove Obasanjo wrong is to travel to the US and not the verbal refutation.

Atiku
My US visa has just been renewed, Ex-VP tells ex-president

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar replied yesterday to his former boss Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s allegation of corruption. He said his United State visa had just been renewed, contrary to the insinuations by ex-President Obasanjo.
He also said he had visited the United States since he left office in 2007, adding that he had been investigated by many agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States, but no allegation of corruption was found against him.
Atiku, in a statement through his Media Adviser Mallam Garba Shehu, said he had no case to answer either in Nigeria or in the United States.
The statement said: “The former President is wrong. It is widely known that Atiku didn’t enter government broke. He declared his assets at the commencement of his vice presidency and did so at the end of his term as required by the constitution, which is a sacred document to Atiku.
“Atiku, who is currently returning from China after leading a private economic trade mission at the invitation of the Chinese government, travels often and has a well-documented record of building industries and putting thousands of Nigerians to work. And this record, quite frankly, has been thoroughly investigated.
“Atiku has no case against him by any arm of the law in any country in the world, including the United States.
“President Obasanjo’s repeated ‘jokes’ about Turaki not being able to go to America have become a cliché, tiresome and not true.”
The Media Adviser insisted that Atiku visited the United States after leaving office.
The statement added: “In 2006, former President Obasanjo sent his National Security Adviser (NSA) to stop Atiku from travelling to the US, saying that the Vice President risked arrest on arrival.
“Turaki spurned that advice, left Nigeria to land at the Andrews Air Force Base, the official airport of the US government, to receive the best reception ever on a visit to America. So, we are used to those taunts.

What about he Obasanjo did he travelled to the USA since his failed terd term agenda failed?

Dike Chimezie:
shut up! If Atiku warants prison Obj warants hanging.

I learn’t the chinese govt. didn,t invite Atiku
as speculated by his media aide.
Time has come when Nigerians should not
believe these people calling themselves
progressives.
Tinubu did same when he alleged Baraka
Obama gave him special invite to attend
Democratic convention. All these lies are to
potray then as progressives and good for
governance.
Atiku spent 8 years as vice, what did we as a
region benefit from his 8 years? Absolute
nothing.
If he really want to disprove OBJ, he should
travel to the US immediately.
I am quite sure, very positive that OBJ is
telling the truth.
Shekena!
