President Bola Tinubu’s former spokesman in the South East, Denge. Dr. Josef Onoh has again criticised former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar for his support of the #EndBadgoverance protest.
Onoh faulted the the former Vice President for throwing his weight behind the protest against Tinubu’s administration, alleging that it was Atiku who indeed laid the dysfunctional economic foundation which Tinubu inherited with Atiku’s outrageous sales of Nigeria’s critical assets to his cronies as the Vice President of Nigeria.
Onoh said that he has continued to be irked by Atiku’s criticism of the Tinubu administration and wondered from where Atiku drives his got to censure the Tinubu administration.
Onoh said he has therefore decided to make more exposures of the Atiku Abubakar’s unbridled corrupt sales of Nigeria’s critical Assets in his time of governance of the country.
He said:
“May I remind Your Excellency that on the 2nd of August 2024 you hailed Nigerians who trooped to the streets in protest against the government.

Unfortunately, your Excellency’s statement was simply a case of one signing his own execution warrant while pressuring the executioner to hasten his execution.
“It’s on record that one of the major demands of the protesters of the #EndBadgovernance which H.E. Atiku Abubakar was praising and encouraging was to renationalize public enterprises sold to government officials and cronies.
Unfortunately the protesters failed to list the specific public enterprises and the government officials who purchased them.
“Clearly, the young generation of protesters who were misinformed and deceived to channel their anger on the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu added to our nation’s poor sense and preservation of history and came out in their numbers to protest and cripple economic activities of our nation without knowing that the evil they seek was amongst them.
“They failed to recognise Atiku as the liquidator General of the Nation and commander-in-cheer of the mob. It hass becomes imperative that the protesters should kindly ask Atiku about the following events under his watch that is now the forerunner of our current hardship they protested against.”
Going back in the memory lane, Onoh recalled that Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai once said that as the Director General of Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) he repeatedly disagreed with the former President Obasanjo when he made moves to dictate to him and that he also disagreed with Atiku Abubakar when he (El-Rufai) insisted that the rules must be followed.
“Let me take Atiku back in time when on that faithful day, he, Atiku called H.E. Mallam El-Rufai, then DG BPE, wherein he told El-Rufai that he got a call from some associates to help a cronie win a particular bid and El-Rufai told Atiku that he knew the rules. El-Rufai told Atiku to tell the Bidder to bid the highest prices because the highest price wins. Atiku pressed on El-Rufai saying ‘I know but I want to tell you in case they contact you. I don’t want them to say I didn’t pass on their message.’

“Mallam El-Rufai as the DG, BPE supervised the privatization of 23 of the 122 enterprises that have been privatized (amounting to 18% of the total). He had 33 transactions, closed 23 and returned N57 billion to the Federal Government Treasury and I ask, what happened to the most?
“Atiku Presided over the liquidation of our national assets while he ignored all recommendations from BPE and due process to sell Delta Steel Company to Global Infrastructure instead of the winner of the bidding process, BUA Group.
“In fact, Oby Ezekwesili attained celebrity status when she insisted that due process must be followed to curb Atiku and Obasanjo’s excesses. This became a move that later earned her the nickname ‘Madam Due Process.’
“Atiku literally dashed DAILY TIMES of Nigeria, to the Anosike brothers (Noel and Fidelis Anosike).
According to court records, Atiku did not privatize Daily Times in the true sense of the word. Daily Times’ assets worth over $3b was used to secure a mortgage that paid for the take over. In other words Atiku packaged Daily Times to sell and buy itself. Truly, Atiku is the greatest salesman in history.

“It was similar to the case of Emmanuel Nwude who between 1995 and 1998 stole almost a quarter of a Billion dollars from a Brazilian bank after convincing its naive Director that the money would be used to buy a non-existent brand-new airport in Nigeria’s capital.

“Once the assets were stripped, Atiku took off with the Anosike brothers to the next unlucky company. Nigeria’s Assets fell into the sinister hands of waiting carnivores who devoured our collective destinies for five years, under Atiku’s reign as the Chairman of National Council on Privatization (NCP). I urge the protesters to ask Atiku to render account.
“Nigeria was held hostage, thoroughly stripped, beaten and milked dry of its fortunes in a once a lifetime”atikulated” scam called Privatization and concessioning.
Kaduna refinery was concessioned to Blue Star under Atiku’s privatization.
“The CBN Governor as at that time, who is still alive and can confirm what I say, swore an affidavit that the $250m paid by the consortium never got into the federation account. An asset of the state sold while the money just vanished in thin air.

“In 2010, the US Senate Permanent Sub-Committee on Investigation released a detailed report of how Atiku wired $40 million from offshore companies to US accounts allegedly controlled by him and his now ex-wife, Jennifer Douglas.

“Atiku was also implicated in the Halliburton scandal that led to the imprisonment of American congressman, William Jefferson.
In 2007, the then president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, forwarded charges made by Nigeria’s anti-corruptions body against Atiku to the senate. He had helped divert $145m from Nigeria government accounts to banks. Some of the money was then fraudulently converted as loans for three companies connected to Atiku.
It’s on record that leaked documents, which date largely from 2020 and 2022 obtained by the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit that researches international crime and conflict.
