Former Vice President and
presidential aspirant of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku
Abubakar, has bemoaned the high
level of impunity currently going on in
government circles, especially at the
federal level, saying something
urgent must be done to address the
anomaly.
Speaking in a chat with newsmen in
Lagos, Abubakar particularly took a
swipe at Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke,
who, Abubakar said, has failed to
honour several invitations by the
National Assembly. He said he would
have fired the minister if he were the
President of the country.
The former vice president also urged
the media to maximise their influence
as the fourth estate of the realm to
check the excesses and impunity in
government circles.
“In my life in this country, I have
never seen the level of impunity go as
high as we have today. Like I said last
night, if I were a president and the
National Assembly summons a
minister for investigation, that
minister will feel reluctant to honour
the invitation, I will fire the minister
because constitutionally, the National
Assembly has the responsibility of
checks and balances.
“In my view, in the United States,
imagine Congress calling one
Secretary of a Department to come, if
he fails to come, they will not even
appropriate money for your
department and there is nothing the
President can do.
“That is not what we see in this
country. And I believe that working
together with the media, both of us
can check that impunity,” he said.

Atiku was there with Obasanjo and he looted the treasury. I rather have GEJ there than to see Atiku there.

FastShipping: Atiku was there with Obasanjo and he looted the treasury. I rather have GEJ there than to see Atiku there.

Who evens wants an Atiku for president?

Itz easy atiku dear: fire d president in 2015 first and take his place( I guess u know dis is impossible tho)then come and fire diezani. Or get all culpable evidence against her and send to d president. Gej is a clean stainless man. If u do dis, he for sure will fire her. Just rest atiku dear. Don't work yur self up anymore. D country is in good and better hands. Things will take shape. There is God o! There is also hypertension o! Una were no one rest or assist constructively wid good intentions. Heheheh

Rilwanu LUkman would have been Oil Minister for life.
When he dies, El Rufai will take over.
These are the best guys that know how to chop the oil money

An indirect campaign attempt? This won't score any point. Play another card please. This one has been over-used.

U had to quote the whole piece just to write that?

Well! Well!! very easy to say. How easy to profer all solutions when we are not saddled with the responsibity yet, but when face to face with the challenges, we begin to sing a different song. Ask Capt. Ruben Abati.

Story for the gods!
♈όϋ would even do the worst!

See Atiku talking of impunity. Your anticedent with Obasanjo readily comes to mind.rubbish

Well Atiku said the truth. The problem here is that he is not clean either.

Well! Well!! very easy to say. How easy to profer all solutions when we are not saddled with the responsibity yet, but when face to face with the challenges, we begin to sing a different song. Ask Capt. Ruben Abati.

Wishing Atiku all the best in his Presidential move.

Even me too.
