"I had enough money to buy as many pairs of shoes as I wanted"- Atiku mocks Jonathan
Category: Nigerian National News
“I
first declared my assets in 1993, I was a multimillionaire in dollars. My company,
NICOTES was already the top oil services Company in Nigeria far back as then. I
was not a poor person because I worked hard and took risks. I had enough money
to buy as many pairs of shoes as I wanted. In 1998, I helped register the PDP.
I spent N500M getting the party sorted out. I rented the party secretariat and
later bought if for the party. I was never accused of corruption before my disagreement
with my boss” – Atiku Abubakar
In a recent interview with the Cable,
Atiku Abubakar spoke at length on national issues, power generation and
transmission, corruption, democracy and the PDP.
Atiku Abubakar a leading member of the All Progressives
Congress and one of the five aspirants contending for the post of Nigeria's President for the 2015
election, under the APC party. He was also the former Vice-president to Olusegun Obasanjo, from 1999 to 2007.
Atiku talks about his roles in founding the PDP, how
he fell apart with his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. He summarized
El-Rufai’s role in “framing” him up as a “corrupt” man when El-Ruafi was the
BPE boss, how El-Rufai later came to him, seeking for forgiveness while he
wanted to contest the position of Nigeria’s president.
The presidential aspirant under the APC, talks about
one of the most controversial cases against him, the case of alleged bribery by the
United States Congressman, Jefferson, and how the congressman had lied that he
gave Atiku $10,000… in Atiku words… “I hear people link my name to Jefferson. It’s
annoying sometimes. Why would I take $10,000 bribe from anyone when my shares in
my companies were worth hundreds of millions of dollars?”
