Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Wednesday disputed claims that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar was one of the major funders of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 campaign.

El-Rufai who spoke on a Voice of America (VOA) Hausa Service Programme, “Democracy Today”, challenged the former Vice President to come up with evidence to prove that he donated to Buhari’s 2015 campaign, according to TheNation.

He also said Atiku left All Progressives Congress (APC) because he has seen that with Governors’ endorsement of Buhari for second term, there was no room for him to run for president.

El-Rufai said: “We in the APC were aware from the outset that Atiku was going to leave the APC back to the PDP in December and we thank God that he left in November.

“Atiku had seen that we in the APC, especially the APC governors, had resolved to support President Muhammadu Buhari to run again in 2019. That is why he left APC since he was only looking for where to contest for president.

“Even in the 2015 APC primary election, Atiku didn’t come second; he was floored by Kwankwaso. So, even if President Buhari decides not to contest, Atiku knows that the APC ticket is not sure for him. Majority of the APC governors have endorsed President Buhari as our candidate for 2019.

“And God has continued to improve the health condition of the President. Each time I see him, I thank God and I still pray that God continues to give him sound health.

“So, by 2019, we are waiting to see Atiku contest; we are waiting to contest against him and see what happens. I cannot lose sleep because Atiku wants to contest because, by God’s grace, this is the reign of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Agreed, in politics if you lose even only one person, it should worry you, but the utterances of the former Vice President that APC used his money who did he give the money to? For me, I know those that supported us with their money and property that we used during election, and I never heard the name of Atiku that he brought a dime. If Atiku said he brought money, who did he give it to? Let him come and say it and how much did he give and what was it used for?

“And, in fact, if Atiku brought money, I ought to know, because I was part of the leadership of the party and during campaign, along with former Governor Rotimi Amaechi. We were at the centre of the presidential campaign. Therefore, we are supposed to know. So, let him mention who he gave the money and how much?

He also said only APC members who are greedy would follow Atiku to PDP.

Seems somebody is afraid of Mazi Atiku...

Yea! He might have spent not even a kobo, but his influence can never be denied by apc.

I never liked this man. he's a professional sycophant.

El-devil

Atiku is a failure whether he spend billions or not. Besides whatever he spends is/was part of what he stole from the coffers of Nigeria. US embassy didn't approve his waiver to reenter the country again. Very desperate and over ambitious. The dude and his jobless ipob suppoters gat nowhere to go come 2019.

All these mumu wey no get shame.
I no know why God never destroy all of Una wey scatter this country since 1999 dey come

funny man abeg him for call like one or two names wey donate for buhari presidential election 2015

When I said in the other thread that Buhari by claiming he is not a good money maker, was actually subtly campaigning for Atiku, some people failed to see the sense in my post.

Now it is getting clearer that the Buhari team has targeted Atiku as their lesser evil. They want to promote him as the best possible alternative for reasons best known to them. For memory sake, this is what I wrote:

LoJ:
It was already obvious that President Buhari does not know how to make money. It is sad that a non economic savvy became head of state of the biggest african economy, but it is the reality, and even Thomas the Doubter will agree with this after almost 3 years of economic nonsense in Nigeria.

However, I think this declaration of Buhari is politically motivated. In my opinion, Buhari is trying to campaign for Atiku. He knows most people don't like him. By saying what he is not, people may directly look for his contrary, that is a man that is well versed in money making. At this time it is Atiku.

I can be wrong, but there is no coincidence in politics. It could well be that Buhari (or his team) have opted for Atiku as their lesser evil. I stand to be corrected though.

cc. Prophet Onatisi what ya say?

Nigerian politics and stupidity

Tomorrow, atiku will come out with another statement, the useless apc will deny and the stupid pdp will support or assert it


What are your plans for Nigeria? No one cares about who spent what during the election



How is it stopping our useless petroleum marketers from hoarding fuel.
