When does the campaign start sef? We want open the crypt and bring skeletons out to talk.

Yawns
Obasanjo came from prison with no Kobo, became president and now owns the largest poultry farm in Nigeria

Tinubu was indicted in the US for being a drug baron, he abandoned all he has and came back to become governor of Lagos state. Today he boasts of being richer than Osun State and owns private jets... How did he become so rich overnight?

Buhari claimed he has no money for election form but his wife accused her Aide of stealing over 2.5billion naira gifted to her. Just 3 years in office and she can boast of billions.

We can go on and on about politicians who became rich overnight. Politics and politicians all make money like Gandollars and what everyone is praying for is to take some share in the national cake.

Least I forget Atiku employs over a hundred thousand people and pays them salary at minimum wage. What has others been able to do with their loot? Eg Mr integrity

...ALSCON, was set up with $3.2 billion, Atiku sold it to a Russian firm, Russal, for a paltry $130million.
ALSCON had been given $120million for the dredging of the Imo River, but it was never carried out, Russal and Atiku disappeared with the money, igbos are complaining about dredging the river niger, but they have short memory that the ALSCON deal was supposed to dredge the Imo river, Imo river is easier and more economically viable than Niger river because it flows into the forcados river a major tributary of the river niger. Atiku and Russal disappeared with the money till date."

Fellow Nigerians,

This is how ATIKU became the “acclaimed” business man he is today.

Please I do not have any partisan political agenda, rather factual report on ATIKU as a Presidential aspirant in Nigeria.

Please any or all ATIKU supporters or his campaign structure are free to deny these submission with facts not sentiments.

“As Head of National Council on Privatization (NCP), from 1999, @atiku dug Nigeria's economic grave for today's extreme poverty and unemployment.

There were over 600 federal assets when @atiku's NCP started selling.
Atiku should tell us who bought what and what was left for the country when he left power.

In 2007, Onigbolo Cement operating at 500,000 tonnes per annum was sold to Dangote at N1.7Bn

To those selling Atiku, let me remind you of @NGRSenate public hearing of August, 2011 which succinctly captures how @atiku through retinue of cohorts, fronts, shell companies, ring fenced over 70% of FG's assets through a brazen daylight robbery privatization that he supervised.

This is nothing sensational. Its real life facts and all the Senators are alive today.

The 2011 privatization Senate committee was made up of Senator Ahmed Lawan – Chairman, Senators Babafemi Ojudu, Philip Aduda, Mohammed Ndume, Ifeanyi Okowa, Hope Uzodinma and Mohammadu Magoro.

Lets look at Aluminium Smelting Company, ALSCON, that Atiku privatized.

ALSCON which Nigeria built with $3.2 billion, was sold to a Russian firm, Russal, for $130million. As of the time of sale, ALSCON had received $120million for the dredging of Imo River, but was never done.

When the Senate Seating of August, 2011 asked the Russian company the whereabouts of the $120million dredging money, the company's Deputy Managing Director, Vitaly Kuzrestov, said that the money has been used for Environment Impact Assessment." EIA kill you there.

FG's Five percent share in Eleme Petrochemical worth USD27 million was never presented to at the National Council on Privatization before t'was sold to Indorama.

Indorama recovered this amount selling Polyethylene and Urea to the entire west Africa sub-region in just 14 months.

The Atikulate Business Theory: Sell to yourself Government assets that leaves millions in penury, to set up personal businesses that provides for a few. @Atiku didn't employ the few hundreds he employed because he likes them, he needs them to work to preserve what he took from Government.

Fam, the business acumen of Atiku you are bandying about is smelly.

A man who supervised sales of over 145 federal investments as a vice president, without a thought for today wants to be president.

He didnt revitalize them.

He didnt resuscitate them.

He sold them to whomever.

Below is a summary of the 2011 senate investigation report.


A summary of Atiku's exploits as the chairman of National council of privatization (NCP) and El rufai as the DG of Bureau of public enterprises (BPE), Nigeria's Assets fell into the sinister hands of waiting carnivores who devoured our collective destinies for 5yrs, under Atiku's reign as NCP chairman, Nigeria was held hostage, thoroughly stripped, beaten and milked dry of its fortunes in a once in a lifetime scam called Privatization and concessioning.

Under Atiku's watch, Vaswanis cheated Nigeria by short-circuiting due process, under a company called Avolon, to acquire Germany's 51 percent in Volkswagen. According to presidency sources, it was a breach of the pre-emptive rights of the federal government of Nigeria stated in section 151 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 1990.

Atiku liquidated NAFCON in 2005 for the sole purpose of selling it to O’Secul Nig Ltd owned by his fellow con artist James Ibori for $153m Thank God for Notore that later pushed out ibori to bring that company back to life.

The BVI, however, had their reason. The National Council on Privatisation was aware of the under-hand deal. In a letter dated August 25, 2005, Atiku Abubakar, former vice president and chairman of the NCP, was informed by the Bureau of Public Enterprises, under Irene Chigbue, to waive Nigeria's pre-emptive rights to acquire the 61 percent shares of the German partners.

While Abubakar knew then that the Vaswanis had been banished from the country, he blinked over the BPE request.

Despite knowing Jimoh Ibrahim forged documents and a Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, which he used to acquire 70 percent of the National Insurance Company of Nigeria, NICON eventually was liquidated after The total assets taken out of the company either directly or through companies wholly owned and controlled by Jimoh Ibrahim and not properly accounted for amounts to N6.37billion.


Delta Steel which was set up in 2005, at a cost of $1.5billion, was sold to Global Infrastructure for just $30million without bidding, Atiku said it is in the best interest of Nigerians grin grin

Atiku ignored all recommendations from BPE and due process—to sell Delta Steel Company to Global Infrastructure instead of the winner of the bidding process, BUA Group.In fact Oby Ezekwesili attained celebrity status when she insisted due process must be followed to curb Atiku and obj's excesses, she was later nick named Madam due process.

ALSCON, was set up with $3.2 billion, Atiku sold it to a Russian firm, Russal, for a paltry $130million.
ALSCON had been given $120million for the dredging of the Imo River, but it was never carried out, Russal and Atiku disappeared with the money, igbos are complaining about dredging the river niger, but they have short memory that the ALSCON deal was supposed to dredge the Imo river, Imo river is easier and more economically viable than Niger river because it flows into the forcados river a major tributary of the river niger. Atiku and Russal disappeared with the money till date.

Even if Atiku sold my father' house or snatched it as long as he is the only viable person to send Buhari back to Daura, God should help him to help Nigerians. Buhari must go

jpphilips:


Intelligence wasn't shared equally so i understand your challenge, have you ever thought about life under Atiku based on his antecedents? do you think all Nigerians were toddlers like you between 1999 to 2007? you think they will want to replace Buhari with Atiku? I respect your opinion based on factors you have no control over but try as much as possible not to rub off your mental inefficiencies on others.
