Corruption allegation: Atiku disowns statement on 30 accused people

- Atiku Abubakar has been exonerated from a statement which implied that 30 accused persons are working for President Buhari

- The statement was said to have been a personal opinion of the author which the media erroneously ascribed to Atiku

- The clarification was made by a political ally of the PDP candidate, Otunba Gbenga Daniel

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has been exonerated from a statement which implied that 30 accused persons are working for President Muhammadu Buhari.

Legit.ng gathered that the statement is a personal opinion of the author which was erroneously ascribed to the former vice president.

The clarification was made by the deputy chairman of the PDP presidential campaign council (south) and former governor of Ogun state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

Otunba Daniel said: “Atiku Abubakar is a statesman and not in the habit of making unguarded and unsubstantiated claims about persons and institutions. The media probably got it wrong and simply elevated personal opinions to that of Atiku Abubakar. They simply cannot be the same.

“Atiku believes in the rule of law, and would not accuse people wrongly especially if no competent court of law has found them guilty.

“That is what distinguishes Atiku Abubakar from the current APC government which has elevated deceit and lies to such height in statecraft.”

Meanwhile, Atiku on Monday, January 21, described leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as liars and deceivers.

The former vice president said this at the PDP presidential rally in Dutse, the Jigawa state capital.

He also promised the huge crowd at the rally that he would not disappoint Nigerians if he was elected president.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
