Atiku Abubakar, former vice president, has said he will shock Nigerians with the manner in which he will fight corruption if elected president of the country.
He urged those with proof of his alleged pilfering during his time in public service to file a petition against him.
While noting that he had always been a tacit investor even before becoming vice president, he said only those bereft of ideas about wealth creation will “assume that a man cannot build himself without stealing”.
Atiku urged his political enemies, whom he says call him a thief because of his “resourcefulness,” to explain how they came about their “stupendous wealth”.
According to a statement released by his media office, Atiku made the comments on Monday during a tour of Yaliam Press Limited in Jabi, Abuja.
He was quoted as saying: “I will shock everyone because I believe that I will fight corruption like never before.
“It is sickening to continue to regurgitate allegations of corruption against me by people who have failed to come forward with a single shred of evidence of my misconduct while in office.
“People who are bereft of ideas about entrepreneurial spirit always think that everyone else is a thief just like them.
“Despite previous desperate efforts to link me with corruption, the William Jefferson trial in the United States ended in 2009 without indicting me or linking me to corrupt activities.
“If Atiku is a thief merely because of his resourcefulness and successful investments, my political enemies should tell Nigerians the sources of their own stupendous wealth.”

ReplyDeleteStory for the gods. My piece of advice to Nigerians. Pls don't get carried away with their deceitful fighting corruption slogan. See where buhari's fighting corruption has landed us. As for me, I need someone who encourages corruption cos the self claimed incorruptible ones are worst than the corrupt ones. Baba Thanks we don't need people who will fight corruption rather encourage corruption.
ReplyDeleteNa wetin buhari talk.
ReplyDeleteLol
Hahaha, real shock in advance, I can't deal, so many joker's
ReplyDeleteNigeria political class just feel when they open their mouths to speak, they seemingly have all the answers and soothing words we need to hear... I wonder and weep for this generation who were so jubilant of a #Not2Young to run bill only to now jump ship and choosing between the devil, Delilah and the red sea.

ReplyDeleteBut must you be the President to bring to pass the things you want to see happen? what are the things he's currently doing as a citizen to better the lot of Nigerians?
ReplyDeleteI am a northerner, but believe me when I say that if Atiku seeks to run for the post of the president, I'll lead the fight for the actualization of Biafra and other states. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeletewe refuse to be shocked sir, leave us alone.
