Atiku shud talk about what Nigerians shud expect of him if elected as the next president not attacking the present government.
Nigerians what to hear new things, things that will change life for better not condemning, attacking the present government.

supporting Buhari is one thing, BUT to be an imbecilic fool while supporting him is way too much.

soldiers died protecting the nation, over 100 of them. buhari and his band of thieves did not deem it fit to grace their burial (a national tragedy of colossal magnitude).

and there are people here supporting him.

30k can go a long way to not just buy some people's conscience, but to replace it with that of a ZOMIE(in the true sense of the word).

A LETTER BOMB TO ATIKU ABUBAKAR - BY A DISSATISFIED NIGERIAN
- CHURCHILL OKONKWO

You are a symbol of the past failures and the politically corrupt in Nigeria. With all due respect, therefore, I, on behalf of millions of Nigerians want to remind you that you should shut up when we are discussing anti-corruption challenges and the way forward.

I laughed cynically when I heard you brag that you would “shock everyone because you will fight corruption …if given the opportunity to preside over the affairs of the country.” You challenged Nigerians to either “come forward with a single shred of evidence of [your] misconduct while in office or keep quiet.” Crude arrogance! You subsequently bragged that your stupendous wealth was a result of your “resourcefulness and successful investments".

What a lie! To use your own words, that display of arrogance was “morally offensive” to millions of Nigerians. Please, sir, accept my apologies, but the issue is not about your “entrepreneurial spirit” *but whether you can corroborate the SOURCE of your investments and wealth.* Sir, you are not more resourceful than millions of Nigerians, and thousands of investors with hard-earned and traceable sources of wealth. So, sir, take your sermon of rooting out corruption in Nigeria to the sedimentary rocks in the valley of Adamawa Highlands. Tell us what happened to the N7.5 B failed Chochi Dam project which you brought the contractor and supervised the project. What happened to the Jada Federal Government communication project awarded by Obasanjo under ur supervision which N4.5 Billion went into a failed project. Tell Nigerians how u took a loan from Bank PHB in 1998 of N300M to run for Governorship of Adamawa, when you were controversially declared the winner and after becoming the VP the bank cancelled the loan. We have documented evidence of this loan, when you took this loan Bamanga Tukur was one of the richest people in the North East with two shipping vessels on the high seas, but just after 8 years as VP you not only became the richest in Adamawa and one of the richest in Nigeria but you built 158 mansions in the country and 42 mosques in Christian dominated areas of Adamawa State the citing and construction of some of these mosques created several crisis killing thousands of people and dethroning a First Class king.

As a show of good faith, sir, can you please explain to Nigerians how you, a retired Customs officer and VP, got the millions of Dollars, without a bank loan, you paid to the American University in Washington DC for a direct license to use the franchise of the university? We know that your estimated $25 million worth of University (ABTI American University) in Yola was not just because you were resourceful. Siemens of Germany wired $1.7 million of bribe money of Nigerian Govt officials to the account of one of ur wives in the US, Jennifer. The same Jennifer and University of America told US investigators that all wire transfers of over $40 million dat both of them received from offshore companies that they did not know came from Atiku Abubakar at a time you were Nigeria's Vice President.

What is the source of the inexplicable reason for your increased wealth after 8 years as VP? Accept my apologies sir, but can you explain to Nigerians the source of hundreds of multi-million Naira mansions, mostly built on what Nigerians believe to be proceeds of corruption? What of the $125m you diverted from the Petroleum Trust Development Fund (PTDF)? Can you please, sir; explain to Nigerians how you managed to command controlling shares in Bank PHB, controlling shares in Intel, and oil services companies operating in many African countries?

If you are as smart and intelligent as you want Nigerians to believe, then it will not be difficult to break down the source of your wealth. Believe me, there are millions of Nigerians out there that are more resourceful than you that will be turned into billionaires overnight if only you can show us your magic wand. So, without explaining the source of your wealth, it is an insult to ask us to provide evidence that you are chronically corrupt. The burden of proof is on you, sir.

How can Nigeria move forward, when we are hamstrung by symbols of past failures, like you Atiku? Let me remind those still living in the graveyards of yesteryears of what you represent, sir. Your mere presence in Nigerian politics reminds us of the era of fire-breathing monsters that plundered the national wealth. Sir, your administration with Obasanjo represents a government of the ugly looters and predators. Under you, and Obasanjo, corruption was so sweet and so exquisite that the political class fell over themselves to worship the mini gods in Aso Rock.

Accept my apologies, sir, but Nigerians have not forgotten that under you and Obasanjo, our yesteryears were locust-infested. When you and Obasanjo pretended to be fighting corruption while in office from 1999 to 2007, we had wretched criminals that grew the size of their stomachs and pockets from “Turn Around Maintenance” of our refineries and under-selling of government entities to cronies. Under you and Obasanjo, we had ministers and thieves that were busy acquiring properties worth billions while our infrastructures decayed.

Sir, you are a woodpecker that feeds on the pantry of the poor, but found a way to avoid having boils in your mouth. The same mouth you are now using to insult us and bragging about how clean you are in amassing wealth in the midst of poverty in your backyard.

Atiku, sir, your ambition, therefore, deserves to be killed now. It is time for you to retire from public life, disappear from Twitter, political screens, and sight somewhere far away. Sir, when you drive around the hills and valleys of Adamawa Highland, are you not worried and ashamed about the difference between your fortunes and that of the poor masses you claim to represent?

Nigerians believe that corruption is a bigger threat than insecurity in your backyard in Northeastern Nigeria. Fighting corruption in good faith will heal the wounds of millions of Nigerians adversely affected over many decades. Unfortunately, sir, until you explain to us how you amassed your wealth, you are not the right man to lead Nigeria.

The stories surrounding the cancellation, the legality or illegality of the contract between Intels and its subsidiaries with Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) is an indication that your greed is finally catching up with you. For me, that deal is like the rest of the dubious investments you are now flaunting, all of which is a textbook example of how crooked bureaucrats like you amass wealth through cronyism and graft.

So, accept my apologies. You, like your co-traveller the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, represent the dangerously corrupt political elites in Nigeria. As you make an attempt at the Nigerian Presidency for the umpteenth time, know it that your reckless shame has expired. The period from 1999 to 2017 is gone, even though the mess you and Obasanjo left behind is still hunting Nigerians.

Sir, I love you, but, until we begin to challenge serving and former civil servants and public office holders like you that cannot explain how they acquired so much wealth, we cannot really claim to be fighting corruption. Shed some light on the source of every Kobo of your shadowed investments and businesses and shame the people you refer to as “political enemies”.

While I wait for your explanation, know it that I will be the first to raise my hand and campaign for you if you will satisfactorily demonstrate the source of your wealth the way you explain to a 3-year old that 1 + 1 = 2. I say this with as a much respect as I can muster, hoping that you will disgrace me with verifiable proof.

Until you do that, sir, you should shut up and bow your head in shame, if there is still any left in you, when Nigerians are talking about the serious business of fighting corruption.
Nigerian are faced with 2 wrong choices. I perceive is time For REVOLUTION!

I am not holding brief for Atiku. It is people like you that believe the person fighting the opposition today in the name of fighting corruption has integrity. The Russian mob understand that the biggest theft in a country is not the theft of money but the theft of the Republic. Who stole our Republic in Nigeria in 1983? So, who has more integrity (or less depending on how you wish to look at it)?

Buhari, Osinbajo’s Absence at Slain Soldiers’ Burial Unacceptable - Atiku

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has described the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the burial of soldiers killed in Metele attack in Maiduguri as ‘totally unacceptable’.

The former vice president in a statement he personally signed on Saturday, said it was even more painful when the federal government refused to send a delegation to represent it at the funeral.

He said Buhari should learn from French President, Emmanuel Macron, who on March 28, 2018 took a whole day off to attend the funeral of Lt. Col Arnaud Beltrame, who was killed by a terrorist after a March 24, 2018 terror attack on the South of France.

Atiku stated, “Today, I saw the pictures of the funeral of the officers and men of the 157 Task Force battalion of the Nigerian Army based in Metele and who were killed by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists and my heart went out to the men, their families and to our entire armed forces. May their souls rest in peace and may God grant their families fortitude at such a trying time.”

DMO Seeks Legislation on Debt Mgt in States, FCT as Profile Rises by 111%
“I am further pained that neither the President or his vice were in attendance at the funeral and that the Federal Government did not send a high powered delegation to represent the government at the funeral.”

“This is sad and totally unacceptable. This is beyond politics. This touches our shared humanity. What would it cost for the President to take a day and fulfil his role as head of state by attending the funeral of such men of honour and valour?

“The sad part of it is that a day before their funeral, President Muhammadu Buhari took time out of his busy schedule to host Nollywood stars at the Presidential Villa.”

“I appreciate Nollywood and I have personally done a lot, both in my private capacity and when I was Vice President, to promote that vitally important industry. However, it does not send a right message to the men and women who are fighting for Nigeria if you can attend a get together of entertainers but you cannot find the time to honour those who make the peace we are benefitting from possible.”

to me id not an issue if mr president or his vice attend the funeral or not,the issue is our army generals are not helping matters federal govt.released money to them right from former president GEJ till date for weapons they only share the money among themselves leaving how soldiers with AK 47 to face terrorist that have all sorts of weapons like RPG machine guns that can release more than 200 hundreds bullet in one trigger if not for God and experience of our able soldiers by now the terrorist would have conquered every where,I fill so sorry to myself and other good ppl of nigeria,even those warming up for presidensy 2019 all are business folk who are going their for there loot I rest my case here God bless Nigeria.

It's not their first time of displaying their insensitivity! angry angry



Honestly it's messed up.



I am an ardent antagonist of Atiku, but he got this one very right, whether for publicity or not.
Boko Haram started growing during OBJ reign, went full blast during Yar'adua, became a problem during GEJ and is still with Buhari.

Show us anyone of these past presidents at the burial of our slain soldiers. If that's not possible, show us even a representation by Atiku who was VP for 8 years.

Dunno why you find it cheap yo attack Buhari, maybe it's because he is a man of few words and gentle nature.

I am not holding brief for Atiku. It is people like you that believe the person fighting the opposition today in the name of fighting corruption has integrity. The Russian mob understand that the biggest theft in a country is not the theft of money but the theft of the Republic. Who stole our Republic in Nigeria in 1983? So, who has more integrity (or less depending on how you wish to look at it)?
Zombie were you born or how old were you in 1983?only a failed human being will give such an analysis. Why did you not also blame the igbo Brothers that killed tafawa balewa & Co in 1966?

When will Nigeria politicians regain their senses again?
Atiku shud talk about what Nigerians shud expect of him if elected as the next president not attacking the present government.
Nigerians what to hear new things, things that will change life for better not condemning, attacking the present government.
Is it not the same PDP that brought us to this present situation? 16years of hardship.

How old are you ?
Nigeria want to hear new things..

I just read a balanced view on punch where the presidency gave a response ........

But the Presidency recalled that the President condoled with the government and people of Borno State and also visited wounded soldiers, who were recuperating in the hospital after the Metele tragedy.

The Presidency noted that by visiting Borno State and the wounded soldiers, Buhari had demonstrated enough leadership.

It stated in its reaction on Saturday, “The loss of the gallant soldiers, as President Buhari has said, is a national loss, on account of which he went to Maiduguri where he condoled with the government and people of Borno State, addressed the troops at Maimalari Barracks as well as visited the convalescing gallant soldiers.

“This was a clear case of sensitive and responsible leadership.”

The Presidency drew a comparison with a similar incident that occurred in 2001 when Atiku was the vice-president to Obasanjo, saying neither of them showed any concern when troops were killed in Benue State.

It stated, “On the other hand, however, when a similar number of troops (19 soldiers) were abducted and killed in October 2001, neither he (Atiku Abubakar) nor his boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo, paid any tributes, not to talk of visiting the grieving family members of the martyred soldiers.

“Instead, they sent additional troops, who rounded up the people of the town and authorised an indiscriminate shooting as reprisals.”

The Presidency further quoted a British Broadcasting Corporation report on the incident as stating, “In four ethnic-Tiv villages in Benue, soldiers rounded up and killed over 200 unarmed civilians. Zaki Biam, a town of about 20,000 people, was completely destroyed.”

I hope all politicians including PMB and s ati
Atiku learn from their past mistakes and say sorry when the need is sought

Atiku need to stop being petty, and tell Nigerians what, if elected, he will do for Nigeria and Nigerians.

Did Atiku attended the burial of soldiers and policemen killed in Odi, when he was the vice president of Nigeria? Trying to score cheap political points will do him no good.

The burial of any military personnel in combat or off combat, is a purely military affairs. Major General Harold Greene, was killed in 5th August, 2014, in Afghanistan, by a Taliban soldier.

He was buried at Arlington national cemetery in the US, Obama and Joe Biden, did not attend or grace the burial. The reason why every military personnel are apolitical.
