But that doesn't change the fact he is corrupt (like all of them!)


They are all corrupt (especially Buhari!) except that Atiku was caught red handed in corruption and money laundering and almost jailed in US!

US: Atiku Abubakar In $40 Million Money-Laundering

Feb 3, 2010 · A United States Senate report has accused Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former Vice-President, of laundering over $40 million in suspicious funds into the United States between 2000 and 2008. And his partner in the lucrative effort was Jennifer Douglas, his fourth wife.

Atiku Abubakar and William Jefferson 

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP)
A formerLouisiana congressman who famously hid $90,000 cash in his freezer was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking bribes, the longest term ever imposed on a congressman for bribery charges.

William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans for nearly 20 years, was convicted in August of taking roughly $500,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for using his influence to broker business deals in Africa.

The sentence was still far less than the nearly 30 years prosecutors had sought.

Agents investigating the case found $90,000 wrapped in foil and hidden in boxes of frozen pie crusts in his freezer.

"Public corruption is a cancer on the body politic," said Ellis, who lamented that so many other congressmen have been convicted on similar charges. "There must be some sort of greed virus that attacks those in power."

The investigation started in March 2005. In August of that year, FBI agents searched Jefferson's Washington home and found the cash. Prosecutors said he had planned to use the money to pay a bribe to the then vice- president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, to secure a multimillion-dollar telecommunication deal
there.


The money ended up in the freezer after a disgruntled businesswoman, Lori Mody, agreed to wear a wire after telling the FBI she had been cheated out of $3.5 million in deals brokered by Jefferson. The jury saw videotape of Mody handing over a suitcase filled with $100,000 cash outside an Arlington hotel. Most of that money was recovered from the freezer.

The defense argued that Jefferson was acting as a private business consultant in brokering the deals and his actions did not constitute bribery.

Yeah? The "everyone is a thief so you too must thief" ideology, right? You must think Nigerians are still in stupid mode not realising if one doesn't thief, that's one less Nigerian thief?

Atiku ko Atif-u ni! "Public corruption is a cancer on the body politic." One by one thief will stop. And it continues with me! And you not voting Atif-u!

Lalasticlala,
Since we will end up with a thief anyway, my submission is that it is better to have an effective thief than one that is practically dead.
Better to have a person that steals but produces results than one that steals yet produces nothing. (Where did Aisha Buhari get the billions she said were stolen from her?)
