It Is Buhari Who Has a History of Bringing in Looted Funds.

Abuja, Nigeria, 30 December, 2018: Our attention has been
drawn to a statement by President Muhammadu Buhari
accusing Atiku Abubakar of planning to smuggle in looted
funds into the country just before the February 2019
elections.

This new accusation, like their previous allegations, is
another infantile outburst that tells more about the accuser
than the accused. Atiku Abubakar has no looted funds
abroad or in Nigeria.

For the avoidance of doubt, history shows that rather than
smuggle in looted cash, Waziri Atiku Abubakar has a record
of preventing looted funds from being smuggled into
Nigeria.

In 1984, it was Atiku Abubakar, as head of the Murtala
Mohammed International Airport Command of the Nigerian
Customs and Excise Department, that stopped the ADC of
the then Military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, from
smuggling in 53 suitcases of looted money into the country.

Young Nigerians and millennials who may not be aware of
this incident, will do well to Google it. Only the guilty are
afraid. It is President Muhammadu Buhari who has a history
of smuggling in looted funds and not Waziri Atiku Abubakar.

In fact, Nasir El-Rufai, a favourite of the President and a
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, said as follows
on October 4, 2010:

“In 1984, Buhari allowed 53 suitcases belonging to his
ADC’s father to enter Nigeria unchecked at a time the
country was exchanging old currency for new.”

Atiku Abubakar’s plane was searched, his accounts have
been perused and his businesses have been thoroughly
investigated with a fine tooth and nothing remotely corrupt
or illegal has been found.

In desperation, the Buhari administration released this
statement to cover their shame on a day that the US based
International Strategic Studies Association reported that it
is the unprecedented corruption around President Buhari
that has led to the recent setbacks in the war on terrorism
in the Northeast and the heavy loss of lives amongst the
military rank and file. May God save Nigeria from a
government that values money over lives.

We therefore urge Nigerians to note that it is Muhammadu
Buhari who has a history and a record of smuggling in
looted funds and it is Waziri Atiku Abubakar who has a
history of preventing such from happening.

And while they are at it, we urge them to tell Nigerians
those behind Etisalat and Keystone Bank and how they
suddenly possessed such wealth overnight.

Finally, Nigerians should note that the Buhari
administration cannot defend their record on jobs and
poverty - the things of most concern to voters - thus, their
only resort is slander.

Signed:

Paul Ibe
Media Adviser to HE Atiku Abubakar
