Atiku says that he will give loans to rice farmers.

Kadaria asks how is it different from the Anchor Borrowers programme of the APC.

Atiku says that the APC programme is fake. Kadaria says we shouldn't call anyone fake.

Atiku says that the PDP had a system in which farmers could get loans via their mobile phones

Do you have a place in your policy for the poor?

Atiku suggests that an election fraud commission should be established.

Kadaria says that, on the question of amnesty, people feel that there's no difference between APC and PDP. She says that politicians have moved between both parties, including the 2 of them (Atiku says that Buhari has been in 4 parties and there is no exception).

Kadaria says that there are 2 other parties that have been here and those parties say that there's no difference between PDP and APC. The candidates of those 2 other parties have not changed parties but the candidates of both PDP and APC have changed parties

Peter Obi says that it's better to ask people who have stolen money to bring the money back to the country in an amnesty

Than to ask people to join their party and become saints

Kadaria asks if he is not concerned about clearing her name.

Atiku said that his wife was not charged or indicted and so she has nothing to answer for.

He says that she is an american citizen and so there's no way that she won't have been charged if she was guilty of doing wrong

Kadaria says that Atiku's wife was mentioned in the Siemens case and what does Atiku think about that.

Atiku says that his wife was not indicted or charged and so he has no opinion on it

Questions from the audience.

Unfortunately the microphone that the audience is using has issues and so Kadaria suspends questions from the audience

Kadaria said that Peter Obi set up a brewery when he was governor (Obi said that he brought foreign investments).

Kadaria said that Anambra State money was put in the brewery, but Peter Obi also has personal interests in the brewery.

Obi said that he doesn't have personal interests.

Kadaria says that the corporate affairs commission shows that a particular company in which Peter Obi has shares also has shares in the brewery.

Peter Obi tells Kadaria that she should go to the corporate affairs commission and check if she will see a single share in the brewery that is owned by him.

Kadaria names a particular company. Peter Obi said that the company was set up by his father.

Kadaria says that that company has shares in the brewery and that Peter Obi, as governor of Anambra, invested government money in a brewery in which his family has interests.

Peter Obi said that he invested Anambra state money and got greater returns than any other governor in Nigeria

2 issues gone by.

Kadaria asked Atiku about Intels. How could he start a clearing and forwarding company while he was a customs officer.

Atiku cites the indegenisation decree which allowed public servants to buy shares in foreign owned companies.

Kadaria says that it wasn't an already existing company that he bought shares in, rather he and Volpi started Intels.

Atiku stated that he bought shares in Intels.

Kadaria said that Intels has a monopoly in certains ports and this was set up when Atiku was VP.

Atiku said that Intels is not a monopoly and he lists other companies that are performing similar business.

Kadaria said that Intels has a monopoly in oil logistics at those ports. Atiku said that it's not true and that Kadaria should have done her research.

Kadaria said she did her research and the information on his company's website says that it has a monopoly.

Atiku says that information is wrong

This is the Kadaria of the BBC that I know!

Totally unflappable!

The biggest question that comes up about your candidacy is corruption, people always talk about corruption, so let's deal with that first.

Do you think that Nigeria has a problem with corruption

Atiku: I am bringing a track record in business, in public service and politics

Kadaria says that he is talking about the record of the present government, but there are other candidates, so why him in particular?

Insurgency was restricted to north-east before they came in, now it has spread to 2 other places.

We have not done better on transparency ranking.

Kadaria says we've gone up 2 places.

We were performing fairly economically before this government came in.

As soon as they came in, we had a recession

APC has been in power for 4 years and people should be able to compare the previous PDP govt and the current APC govt

Last minute checks.

It ranks as one of the weirdest thing I've ever seen on the NTA News.


He went to inspect a new school and he was obviously not happy with what he saw.


"Is this what you want our children to use??" He broke a chair over his knee.

"Is this what you provided for them??" He flung a desk away.


Journalists, contractors and virtually everybody were running for cover.

Listen to the interview again.
