Former Vice President, and presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that President Bola Tinubu has gone too far on the path of saving Nigeria, by dividing its wealth between him, his family and his close associates.

In a statement issued by Atiku’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe on Wednesday, Atiku asserted that even after Tinubu’s removal from power in the future, it will be very difficult before Nigeria can rid itself of the corruption committed by Tinubu and his family and close associates. to the country’s economy.

Atiku said that the same way Tinubu has done well in the economy of Lagos State, the same is now the way to do it in the economy of the Federal Government.

“While Tinubu’s tax collection company Alpha Beta and others are working to collect taxes for the Lagos Government and his family, Tinubu has started doing the same to the Nigerian economy,” said Atiku.

He expressed surprise and disappointment at how Nigerians reacted to his good idea of ​​reforming the NNPC, when he said he would sell the company if he became president. But now it seems that NNPC has sold more than 550 petrol stations to OVH, owned by Oando, the company owned by Wale Tinubu, Tinubu’s brother, who owns 49 percent of the company’s capital.

Atiku went on to say that he wanted to reform the NNPC with good intentions, but now that the Bumburu districts surrounding the President have accepted the leadership of the NNPC, they are doing what they want.”

“In October, 2023, five months before the election, NNPC lied that it had bought OVH oil company together with all its petrol stations. At that time NNPC had 550 petrol stations across the country.

“When PREMIUM TIMES asked to know the details and a copy of the agreement, it was denied.”

Later, PREMIUM TIMES found out that Nigerians were deceived, 550 NNPC gas stations were sold to OVH.

“After Tinubu became president, he appointed his former boss at Mobil, Pius Akinuelure as the Chairman of the NNPC, while Tinubu held the position of Minister of Petroleum.

“Another point of concern is how OVH, which was said to be NNPC, bought it all, and now it is said that OVH has bought all the NNPC petrol stations in the country.”

“Now what this deal means is that Wale Tinubu’s Oando company has 49 percent of the capital and assets of NNPC petrol stations,” said Atiku.

Atiku alleged that Nigeria paid Wale Tinubu a lot of money to be the iron bridge that Tinubu’s family stepped on and owned 49 percent of the capital and assets of NNPC Retail.

PREMIUM TIMES has published the full story of the sale of NNPC petrol stations, which has never been done before in the history of the oil industry in Nigeria.

Atiku went on to say that the investigation that was said to be done by the Senate on the alleged collusion of the transaction, was just a waste of time and insulting the minds of Nigerians. “Because Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, who is the chairman of the investigation committee, is Tinubu’s son, he was a commissioner in Lagos State when Tinubu was the governor of Lagos. And everywhere he calls Tinubu his great friend,” said Atiku.

Atiku then moved on to the contract for the construction of a 700 kilometer road worth 15.6 trillion Naira and the Apapa to Sokoto road, whose cost is 24 billion dollars.

Atiku went on to say that now the International Association of Journalists who Report on Russians and Fraud have filed a court case against the contract from Lagos road to Cslsbsr. Because they discovered that the company that was given the contract belonged to Seyi, Tinubu’s son and Chagoury’s son.
