Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has criticized FCT Minister Wike for prioritizing personal interests over the welfare of Nigerians

Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has come under fire from former vice president Atiku Abubakar for putting his own interests ahead of the wellbeing of Nigerians. With reference to Atiku as a "rejected politician," Wike made these comments recently in Port Harcourt in response to Atiku's response to the recent local government elections in Rivers State. Wike's assertion was rejected by Atiku, who said that if he genuinely thought that Nigerians were happy with the way things were going under his administration, it revealed a more sinister reality: his priorities were not the people's but rather his own. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the most recent election, Atiku, went on to accuse Wike of being selfish, saying that it was clear that he was more concerned with his personal life in Rivers than with his ministerial duties. While Wike seems to take pleasure in engaging in media spectacles, Atiku emphasized that the PDP is still committed to the welfare and advancement of the people. Wike was also chastised by Atiku for engaging in media spectacles, saying that they would rather rise above the mire and retain their dignity than go down into the gutters, where he feels most at home.

Atiku: The oppression of Tinubu's rule is worse than that of military dictatorships

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed concern over the Nigerian government's recent arrest of NLC President Joe Ajaero and the takeover of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project office in Abuja. He compared the current administration's oppressive actions to military dictatorship and warned that the level of control now imposed surpasses even the harshest days. Abubakar also urged President Bola Tinubu to redirect the nation's security apparatus towards addressing terrorism and banditry, rather than targeting labor leaders and civil rights organizations. In a statement released on Tuesday, September 10, Atiku, the 2023 presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) says; “The escalating assault on civil society and the media by the Bola Tinubu administration are profoundly disturbing. The level of oppressive control now imposed surpasses even the harshest days of military dictatorship. “The recent arrest of Mr. Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, en route to an official event, epitomizes this regime’s relentless campaign to intimidate and subdue organized labour. “Just days prior, security forces detained a journalist, only to later claim it was a grievous error. What if the outcome had been fatal? Now, Tinubu’s regime extends its repressive grasp to encroach upon @SERAPNigeria, an action that stands as a grave affront to our democratic values. This siege is anathema to the principles of freedom and justice. “It is imperative that Tinubu and his security apparatus redirect their fervour and intimidation towards the actual perpetrators of violence — terrorists and bandits—who are inflicting immeasurable suffering upon the Nigerian people. -AA” Read the full article

I’m negotiating with Peter Obi, Kwankwaso – Atiku, says one of them may ‘Step down’ The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has said that he is in touch with the presidential candidate of New Nigerian People Party (NNPP) Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso for possible support. In an interview with BBC Hausa service, Atiku said he is also holding talks with the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi. He said the duo of Obi and Kwankwaso are not in anyway a threat to his chances in the election. “I see no threat because we are not together with them (Kwankwaso and Obi). We are in talks with them, one of them may possibly come,” he said. On the PDP Crisis, Atiku said, “Each party has its internal crisis, we are still talking with them. Most are neither in PDP nor in other parties and definitely that will not make us loose the election because we okay with the elections preparations for now.” “Elections now is not like in the past when a governor will dictate who to vote for, elections today is in the hands of the voters.” The presidential candidate also promised to open all Nigeria’s borders if elected president. #pdp #atikuabubakar #rabiumusakwankwaso #peterobi #nigeria #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/CoHpZDmoCMn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Supreme Court quashes Atiku’s appeal challenging Buhari’s election victory

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal challenging the election of President Muhammadu Buhari filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar for lack of merit. A seven-man panel of the apex court led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Tanko Mohammed, dismissed the appeal on Wednesday after hearing Atiku’s suit against the President Buhari’s victory. The court however said it would give the reason for its decision on a date to be announced. “We have examined the submissions of parties in this matter and the exhibit adduced and we have come to a conclusion that this appeal lacks merit, appeal is hereby dismissed,” he said. Abubakar and the PDP filed the appeal at the Supreme Court after the presidential election tribunal last month dismissed their original petition. The tribunal ruled against the PDP on the core issues it raised about the February presidential election. Abubakar and the PDP had argued that Buhari lied on oath about his educational qualification and that the high school the president said he attended did not exist at the dates stated by the president. The party and its candidate also argued that the electoral commission, INEC, manipulated the result of the election and that the result on an INEC server showed that ABubakar won the election ahead of Buhari. The tribunal disagreed with the PDP and Abubakar on the issues raised. Read the full article

Alleged Money Laundering: Court grants Atiku’s son-in-law bail

Nicholas Oweibo, a judge of the Federal High Court, in Lagos has granted bail in the sum of N20 million to Abdullahi Babalele, the son-in-law of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in 2019, Atiku Abubakar. The ruling was delivered on Thursday after the bail hearing brought before the court by defence counsel, Mike Ozhekome. While delivering the ruling, Mr Nicholas said, “bail is granted in the sum of N20 million with one surety in like sum, the surety must be resident within the jurisdiction of this honourable court and have property within the jurisdiction of the court with passport photograph and address of the surety verified. “The defendant’s passport shall be submitted to this court and pending fulfilment of bail terms, the defendant is remanded in EFCC custody.” Court session While arguing for bail earlier in the proceeding, Mr Ozhekome told the court that his client “has been a faithful and decent Nigerian who believes that the ACJA and constituted authorities should be respected”. “He is not the kind of person that will jump bail and abscond from justice. If he didn’t do that with EFCC, why will he now dare now that he is before a court of law? “This is a matter of discretion, one that should be exercised judiciously. Discussing whether he is guilty or not is premature at this stage but if you look at the proof of evidence filed by the EFCC, my client has said he paid N50 million to Bashir Mohammed to send to the Obasanjo Library for intellectual development and that he never handled dollars. “If Bashir Mohammed in his wisdom changed it to dollars it means the wrong person is in the dock. The transaction my client did was a bank transfer. It does not lie with the prosecution to say they are still investigating. It is assumed that you have finished your investigation the moment you charge an accused to court.” In response, Usman Buhari, representing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), told the court that bail is not the right of the defendant but at the discretion of the court. He said the defendant “has not placed any evidence before the court to warrant the court exercising its discretion, therefore the application of the defendant should be rejected”. Background Mr Babalele was arraigned yesterday by the EFCC on a two-count charge of money laundering of $140,000, an offence he reportedly committed in February. The EFCC, which first arrested the suspect in February, said it suspected the cash was for votes buying and had placed him on administrative bail while investigations continued. He was, however, rearrested on August 9 prior to his arraignment on Thursday. The offences are said to be contrary to Section 18(c) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 as amended and punishable under Section 16(2)(b) of the same Act. Read the full article
