Anti-corruption Network Asks Malami To Disqualify Atiku by titiloyeblog: 8:18am On Feb 22, 2019
The World Anti-Corruption Research Network has asked the attorney-general of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, to disallow Atiku Abubakar from contesting in Saturday’s presidential election.

The UK-based group in the petition dated February 20, 2019, said it is worried about Atiku’s candidacy which “poses a security risk to the country”.

Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has had multiple criminal investigations over the last decade, the group said.

“The major heads of our concern against this candidate are twofold,” read the petition, signed by Gbenga Oduntan on behalf of two other group — HEDA, led by Olanrewaju Suraj, and The Corner House, headed by Nicholas Hildyard.

“In view of the available open-source evidence, he is, in our opinion not fit and proper person and shouldn’t therefore, not be allowed to contest and/or enter into the most exalted office of the land in any country, let alone in Nigeria which has been addressing severe transparency challenges.”

The group listed the alleged bribery and money laundering cases involving the former vice-president.

Atiku had been accused of demanding a bribe of $500,000 to facilitate the award of contracts to two American telecommunication firms in Nigeria and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had also searched his residence in the US but no money was found.

The investigators had videotaped William Jefferson, who was the congressman representing Louisiana, receiving $100,000 worth of $100 bills which he claimed was meant for Atiku, but the PDP’s candidate has consistently denied the allegation.

“Atiku Abubakar’s exposure to the United States criminal justice system over the last decade gives the United States government near complete leverage over him,” the group said while listing the security implications should he emerge Nigeria’s president.

“It is extremely easy to compromise someone who has put himself in this position through blackmail. The threat of releasing damaging revelations and evidence kept on file against him over the years is a clear and present danger.

“The use of Kompromat on foreign leaders in international relations is alive and well and is, in fact, topical in relation to the United States history and current national life.”

The group said Atiku’s presidency would be vulnerable and be easily exploited by the US.

For 13 years, Atiku could not enter the US but he was eventually granted a visa in December.

His subsequent visit to the US was a boast to his campaign but the group said his visit, allegedly facilitated by US lobbyists, is an indication of collusion between his campaign and foreign elements and this makes his candidacy a risky one on Nigeria.

The group called on security agencies, academia, lawyers to engage in an interdisciplinary study of the business and any other connections between Atiku and the US.

“In addition to the need to avoid allowing an easily compromised person to become President of Nigeria upon whom illegal leverage may be exercised, there is the urgent need to consider the implications for Nigeria’s image to install a President like Atiku Abubakar in view of the country’s avowed interests to abandon the brand of being a ‘fantastically corrupt state’,” it said.

Atiku is the major challenger of President Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election holding on Saturday.

Atiku has Life. He is not lifeless. Malami is incompetent to do what you are inciting. If ever he tries, Atiku, with the support of his Electorates, will sue Malami to death.

What APC fails to understand is even if Atiku is anini re-incarnated or the king of robbers, we would make him President.

We are tired of propaganda. No be propaganda we wan chop. No jobs, prices are high, no money , you haven't done anything to help Nigerians and your solution is by telling us Atiku is a thief?

Sane Nigeria: Why should i vote Buhari.?

Zombie: Atiku is a looter.

Sane Nigeria: OK, But you should i vote Buhari?

Zombie/Sarrki: We answered you already, cos Atiku is a thief.

Sane Nigeria: Let me rephrase, cos its like your brain is turninoneown. what has Buhari done to merit my vote?

Zombie/Sarrki: Atiku is a criminal. Buhari till 2023. SaiBaba..

Just look at the comments, Truth is most Nigerians are very stupid , unwise , tribalistic, over religious and selfish people who care instead about their chances and benefits instead of the nation’s interest

The really wise and realistic people of this nation can really tell how Atiku is the worse candidate to ever rule Nigeria.

Vote AAC for a clean conscience and stop minding if SOWORE loses or not if you dont want to keep changing bad Government every 4 years

Buhari, by his gargantuan ineptitude, nepotism, crass negligence and manifest incompetence has relegated corruption of political opponent's to No. 3 of what ordinarily was No. 1 on the hearts and minds of many Nigerians.

The poverty that he has cultivated and unleashed on many already financially vulnerable people means that what is uppermost on the minds of the populace is Economy and Jobs.

Meanwhile the very same Buhari who many claim is a man of integrity and lowly means is the same man who has shielded his corrupt acolytes from prosecution and who has himself hidden away his asset declaration form, details of which he (nobody forced his hand) by himself promised to make public.


Meanwhile, this current claim by the so-called World menene in itself is a process of corrupt manipulation and misrepresentation.

If anyone can find anything meaningful about this World Anti-Corruption Research Network please make a thread...

A Google search throws up nothing but links to the Cable and other online news outlets..

Fact.

APC is desperate. They over played their importance and incumbent advantage.

If they try that Osun state nonesense again, the international community will step in. This election must be better than the 2015 standard.
