Dude, you are not being reasonable. This report is all over Nairaland with links to the US government website that published it.
What other evidence do you need? It is a serious allegation which Atiku himself did not deny. There are 200 million Nigerians, there must be one or two who are not tainted by allegations of corruption.
We need to kill corruption before Nigeria can progress and Atiku is obviously not the man to do it. Did he even mention curbing corruption throughout this campaign, I doubt it.

All it could have taken for that report to emanate was a petition by an Atiku hater from Nigeria! The Congress would then report to appropriate committee to carry out investigation on it. The investigation obviously didn't find him guilty, hence he wasn't arrested when he visited.

Do good or not we are Atikulated

Atiku name actually came up during investigations of some corruption cases. That is how he came to the picture, it wasn't due to any petition from Nigeria. He was the vice president of Nigeria at the time.

And after the investigation he wasn't found guilty!

Jman06:
And after the investigation he wasn't found guilty!

He wasn't the main target of the investigations but his name came up in two different cases of corruption and that is enough to alarm the Americans and he was banned from entering the US.
We need at least this standard to move ahead as a country.

Xander85:
You forget that even if Atiku and Obi have the capacity and zeal to perform well, that there are other extraneous variables beyond their control that could go a long way in determining how well or how badly their term in office becomes!

You considered the part embittered saboteurs could play in sabotaging their efforts? If they win, there would be many in the north (and parts of the south) that would go all out to sabotage their efforts and mount a campaign of calumny against them. GEJ and OBJ know what i’m talking about!

Example you, uche chukwu And the Rest ndoni.

My fellow countrymen! Let us avoid parochial sentiments and give Atiku a chance to better this country for us all.

Just reason and ask yourself whether it is proper to vote Buhari who has clearly failed this country! Borrow yourselves brain and think!

A booming economy will rub off on everybody and we'll all be happy. Your region
having the VP position will not improve your lives in anyway! Osibanjo does not even know you!
You spent many years in the higher institution and graduated and all you could get is 30k Npower! In a country where prizes of essential commodities have tripled from what it used to be, what can 30k Npower do for you?? Is that what will establish you and enable you get married and fend for your family
A thriving economy will create jobs that can pay you better and also create a more conducive environment to do business. Reason properly brothers and sisters!

Why would anybody vote for Buhari because of Osibanjo??
Osibanjo failed to condemn the wanton killing of innocent Nigerians in the middle belt and some parts of Northeast, yet he's a pastor!
Herdsmen have taken over people's farmlands in my village and other villages in Nigeria without Osibanjo advising his boss to stop them, yet you want to vote for them??!

If it is about VP position, Atiku has promised to zone sgf to your region. That position is a very strategic one!

Please vote for Atiku Abubakar to get Nigeria working!

Don't listen to the accusations that Atiku looted, even in the court of law, a suspect remains innocent until proven guilty by the court! Until those accusing Atiku provide an indicting evidence against him, please don't listen to them! It is all politics they are playing! Remember that Atiku was their darling in 2015 when he was in APC.

[/s]He had chance as VP, what did he do than building university where 95% of its workers are foreigners during strike of Nigerian schools for close to two years.

You have already lost the bet OP.
Atiku was there for 8 years, where is the outcome now, just go and jump into the nearest lagoon..

Jman06:

Sobwhy blaming osibanjo, are you OK. Did he build university during strike or no?

Gerout jor, Atiku is a thief.

Slandering an innocent man makes you feel good, isn't it?

It is an offence to do what you are doing. Be enlightened.

Osinbajo did not condemn wanton killings?

Did Atiku condemn the Odi massacre?

Jman06:
So VP is the one in charge of government

He was in charge of the economy. As chairman of privatization, he and his boss crippled our universities to float theirs among other private universities with exorbitant fees.

Adamawa is so worse off that Atiku is one of only two major employers in that state.

He lied that he called the widow of a slain officer to prove that he is a kindhearted man.

Check the funding of universities before 1999 and compare to what Obasanjo's government invested in the universities. I'm not implying that they did excellently in terms funding the universities then, but they tried compared to what they met on ground. Talking about economy, things were relatively better then in terms of standard of living than what we have.

1$ exchanged for around #160 then and prizes of essential commodities were not as bad as what we have today. Many power plants were built then and businesses were thriving. What exactly has Buhari achieved?? Nothing other than unleashing poverty and deaths on the land

So where is all the so called refineries? PDP had 8 more years to get things working, but here we are today. APC, all the same.

And how were things when they left? How many industrial actions were called against them from all sectors of the society?

And remember that before Obasanjo came on board, Nigeria was under a dictatorship and faced many sanctions, many of which had a toll on our economy generally. So, it is understandable if there was marked progress from the days of ignominy under IBB and Abacha. This doesn't translate to that administration being better than this one led by Buhari, considering the problems of terrorism coupled with slump in oil price that Buhari had to deal with.

Crude oil prizes were lower during Obasanjo's administration.

Standard of living was much better under Obasanjo's government than what now have.
Telecommunication became popular under that government with many people gaining employment from that sector.

The fact that they came in after the periods of military dictatorship is even enough reason to cut them some slack, Buhari's government didn't succeed a military government but inherited a thriving economy only to end up killing it.

Below is a chart showing cost of crude oil during the two administrations. Compare and contrast:

It is rather laughable that only you thought that Buhari inherited a thriving economy. An economy that was already borrowing to pay salaries. An economy that experts like the Economist had passed a vote of no confidence on, including writing a letter of warning to GEJ to tackle corruption and embrace saving while fast tracking diversification to avoid a horrible recession.

As per the Obasanjo administration, it had the opportunity to transform Nigeria and put it on the right track. First of all, it brought back massive foreign interest for the simple fact it was a return to democracy after close to two decades of military rule. It is therefore understandable that progress was recorded.

But that is not enough reason to think of that administration as something of positive remark. It had 8 years, it had renewed international relationship, it had immense citizenry support, and it failed.

It had the opportunity to rewrite history, but it enshrined corruption, money laundering and a height of dictatorship reminiscent of the military era. There was no sincere effort to build the universities which had been set on a declining course. Rather, the Number One and Two men built their own universities. The Number One man would later erect a Library edifice to his own name.

It would be in record that that administration created the huge social class dichotomy bedeviling Nigeria till this day. It created a few billionaires and millions of poor people.

Atiku had his chance. He messed it up.
