abc115: US Group Predicted it, Atiku Confirmed it ...
Nigeria’s main opposition People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will look to enriching himself and his cronies if he wins the presidential elections holding on February 16, an America political risk consultancy firm Eurasia Group said in its annual report for 2019.
He is a “gerontocrat who would focus on enriching himself and his cronies, avoiding the difficult and politically unpopular tasks necessary for reform,” Eurasia Group said in the report published on December 7.
However, the group said Abubakar, because of “his better health and keener intellect” compared to President Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, “would create a brief, superficial boost to the country’s image.”
“But it would also pose the risk of a return to an even more rent-seeking governing style,” the group added.
Abubakar, a former Nigerian vice president for eight years, will be contending with about 59 candidates for the post of presidency.
However, his main contender is the incumbent president. Abubakar, after leaving the APC for the PDP in late 2017, has become one of Buhari’s harshest critics, especially on the economy.
Abubakar has touted his experience in government and business as being what the country needs, citing his role in overseeing economic reforms amid solid growth under former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
His proposed policy program has emphasized job creation, and he has promised to implement liberal economic policies if elected, including scrapping the current system of multiple exchange rates that he describes as “anti-business.”
However, critics consider Abubakar as a corrupt figure, a perception that dates from his time in Obasanjo’s administration when he allegedly accumulated significant holdings in oil and banking enterprises and built a sizeable real estate portfolio.
He and his fourth wife Jennifer Douglas, an American citizen, were allegedly indicted in 2010 in a 328-page American Senate committee report for transferring over $40 million “suspect funds” to America from offshore accounts between 2002 and 2008.
“Ms Douglas helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States, including at least $1.7 million in bribe payments from Siemens AG, a German corporation, and over $38 million from little known offshore corporations, primarily LetsGo Ltd. Inc., Guernsey Trust Company Nigeria Ltd., and Sima Holding Ltd,” the Carl Levin-led Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation said on page 173 of its report.
Although Abubakar has not visited the United States since he was indicted, he has maintained that he maintained that he did nothing wrong.
obailala: Can't you see you're the confused buffoon here?... The bit of the report I quoted stated that the "construction being done by Julius Berger was part of early earth works", the report then went further to say "it was not part of the building of the bridge". So I asked, if the early works aren't part of the bridge as Mazi Okechukwu claims, what exactly is Julius Berger working on? Daura supermarket?
@Oga Joudini, English language isn't so difficult (at least for Nigerians who have passed through secondary school). That you are sentimentally aligned to any particular political side isn't a reason you must send your brain cells responsible for English comprehension on vacation. Honorable Okechukwu obviously made the contradictory statement to excite rampaging clowns like yourself.
Constantiney: So how are the Germans, Chinese and other non English speakers able to progress in the 'business' world? I can bet you are a better English speaker than neymar, Messi and Sanchez but are they not progressing in the 'business world'?
Who told you Germans and Chinese business men and women are non English speakers? What language do Chinese and German expats speak when they come to Nigeria?
Constantiney: No he/she meant A very, without using space, then mispelt the others but, if you are not an idiot like everyone else, I am sure you got the message.
Nigerians, lay off this perfect english nonsense you lot are so fond of. It's just a bloody language. Smh.
And then when that person keeps failing written tests/exams and is not able to progress, they start blaming everything under the sun from rascism to the devil.
Or do you think the business world operates on internet speak?
