The Plateau State Coordinator of the Atiku Nationwide Project, Dr. Solomon Gushibet, has dismissed the sleaze allegations being made in some quarters against the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, saying no case has been established against him. Gushibet queried why Atiku was going about his legitimate engagements freely around the country without being picked up and prosecuted if he had any case to answer.

Gushibet spoke yesterday at a meeting of the Atiku campaign organisation in Jos. He said Atiku and his running mate, Peter Obi, had what it takes to move Nigeria to greater heights, and urged PDP supporters not to be deterred but remain courageous. He added that Atiku was the engine room of Nigeria as Vice President during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s government, who gave the administration resounding credibility by bringing about economic transformation.


He said further that by the time the duo came to office, the Nigerian economy was already nose-diving into recession and depression, adding that when they came in, they did not blame the recession on the military but went head-on to revive the ailing economy.

“So, Atiku is not a thief. If Atiku were a thief, he wouldn’t have been moving around freely without being arrested because of the nature of this government. Atiku started investing at the age of 15 and here he is today. We must not leave any stone unturned to deliver him to the people of Nigeria,” Gushibet said.

The national secretary of the campaign organisation, Abdullahi Narabi, in his contribution, said they had thought the present federal government was coming with respite, when they came on board in 2015. But things became worse economically, he said, as prices of staple food skyrocketed. Narabi said the government was anti-people and its claims about fighting corruption were a ruse.

“Since they did not find anything against Atiku, that means he is not corrupt. They would have prosecuted him, but there is nothing fraudulent and incriminating in him,” Narabi said.

Speaking also, Coordinator of the North Central Zone of the organisation, Hon. George Daika, said Atiku was a man of integrity and an employer of labour. Daika said most of Atiku’s investments were located in Nigeria, adding that the government of Atiku, if he wins, is going to be a government for the people.

Daika said Obasanjo brought in Atiku to help revive the ailing economy and urged the electorate to be dogged fighters who should not despair.

“Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be despaired, and don’t be deterred. It is our project. He is doing it for our interest and for our sake. We are confident that Atiku will win in February presidential poll,” the North Central coordinator said.

In their own remarks, an elder statesman, Alhaji Abdullahi Wase, Mr. Joseph Tonkan, and other stakeholders said Nigerians should make deliberate efforts to ensure Atiku’s victory at the polls next month.

Yeah we all know. But why is he afraid of going to Usa? A simple question that has made Atiku and his supporters to be clueless/confused.

Mendacious set of people

Articulate

True. If you have evidence, show it to us

Every politician in Nigeria, past or present is corrupt. The system is corrupt. Whether substantiated or not, Atiku, Buhari, Obj all their ilk, are fantastically corrupt.

Some aren't just financially corrupt, they're corrupt wid their handling of security matters. I've said it before and I quote again as they ascribed to the former Military head of state that "any insurgency that lasts over 24hours in a country, the government has a hand in it".

Playing ludo wid our rights and collective sweats, they must all be stoned to death!

They keep talking with the 2 sides of their mouth....

Atiku will surely go to jail, both nationally and internationally at the end of the day.

Atiku is only living on borrowed time.
He will surely end up in jail.

True, they are mere allegations until proven otherwise.

What did he forget in the United State that he must go and collect, or is that a perquisite to becoming a president, maybe we should include it in our constitution that for you to run for the Office of the President you must Visit the United State.

Atiku is there for you to Investigate, he does not have any immunity clause stopping you, he can be persecuted, so lets stop all this USA thing and focus on what is right, if you have any issues you can take him to court and stop disturbing us everyday here on Nairaland

The guy's only ambition is personal enrichment at the expense of the country, heck if this guy is given the opportunity he will sell the entire country to himself at a give away price!

Even with all the US Senate reports on him and his US wife and associate going to jail over those elections. If Atiku is not corrupt, it means Abacha did not steal a single kobo from Nigeria.

When he spent billions on their APC presidential campaign, and even brought out his private jet. APC and their zombies didn't know he was corrupt, they were enjoying his loot.

Now that he is their opposition, they now shouting corruption. Hypocritical fools.

Here is a summary of the report:

Atiku Case History.

Atiku was culpable in the Halliburton scandal that consumed American congressman, William Jefferson, who bagged a jail term in the United States of America.

From 2000 to 2008, Jennifer Douglas, a U.S. citizen and the fourth wife of Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President and former candidate for President of Nigeria, helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States through wire transfers sent by offshore corporations to U.S. bank accounts.

In a 2008 civil complaint, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleged that Ms. Douglas received over $2 million in bribe payments in 2001 and 2002, from Siemens AG, a major German corporation.

While Ms. Douglas denies wrongdoing, Siemens has already pleaded guilty to U.S. criminal charges and settled civil charges related to bribery and told the Subcommittee that it sent the payments to one of her U.S. accounts.

In 2007, Mr. Atiku was the subject of corruption allegations in Nigeria related to the Petroleum Technology Development Fund.

Of the $40 million in suspect funds, $25 million was wire transferred by offshore corporations into more than 30 U.S. bank accounts opened by Ms. Douglas, primarily by Guernsey Trust Company Nigeria Ltd., LetsGo Ltd. Inc., and Sima Holding Ltd.

The U.S. banks maintaining those accounts were, at times, unaware of her PEP status, and they allowed multiple, large offshore wire transfers into her accounts. As each bank began to question the offshore wire transfers, Ms. Douglas indicated that all of the funds came from her husband and professed little familiarity with the offshore corporations actually sending her money.

When one bank closed her account due to the offshore wire transfers, her lawyer helped convince other banks to provide a new account. In addition, two of the offshore corporations wire transferred about $14 million over five years to American University in Washington, D.C., to pay for consulting services related to the development of a Nigerian university founded by Mr. Atiku Abubakar.
