Below is a Press statement from Atiku’s Media Team made available to PoliticsNGR;
The
Peoples Democratic Party Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was
taken aback last week when Mr. Babachir Lawal, Buhari’s former Secretary
to the Government of the Federation, turned up at the Presidential
Villa on Thursday, December 13, 2018, where he was received with pomp
and pageantry.
Mr. Babachir Lawal attended the launch of the Together Nigeria organized by the Buhari Support Organization (BSO).
It
is a very sad day for Nigeria, when the President honours a man proven
beyond all reasonable doubt to have soiled his hands with money meant
for starving refugees.
These are the actions which feed the
perceptions that has made Nigeria turn in its worst ever Corruption
Perception Index rating by Transparency International where we went back
12 steps in 2018’s rankings, moving from 136 under President Jonathan
to 148 today.
According to Transparency International, Nigeria is
more corrupt today and we ask the government to answer a few questions
including:
· Who reinstated and double promoted Maina?
· Who owns the Ikoyi Apartment $42 million?
· What has happened to Aisha Buhari’s ADC who looted ₦2.5 billion?
· Why was the $25 billion NNPC contracts awarded without due process investigated?
· Why haven’t those beyond Buhari’s padded budget scandals been sacked or charged to court?
· When will Babachir be charged?
· How come fuel subsidy has doubled even when petrol price has doubled?
·
Why did President Buhari lift the suspension of the corrupt NHIS boss,
Usman Yusuf, before public pressure forced him to suspend him? Why has
he not been charged?
· In May, Transparency International warned
that Buhari had increased Security Vote by 600%, yet our soldiers have
no weapons and are killed by terrorists. Where is the money going?
·
In February Buhari withdrew $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account to
ostensibly fund the war on terror, yet the Chief of Army Staff said
after Metele that they have no weapons. Where did that money go?
Answers
to these and other questions are urgently required from President
Buhari by Nigerians and failure to answer them only proves that under
Buhari, the All Progressive Congress Government is not just Corrupt, but
corruption is its policy.
