2019: Atiku Under Fire Over ‘extravagant Trip’ To Dubai With Obi, Ben Bruce, Oth by 3Ebisco: 12:29pm On Nov 02, 2018 |
The New Agenda for Positive Change, a civil society organization has taken a swipe at the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for reportedly holding a strategy session with members of his team in Dubai, UAE. The Dubai meeting had in attendance, Atiku’s running mate, Peter Obi and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki. Also in the meeting were ex-Ogun Governor, Gbenga Daniel, ex-aide to former President, Reno Omokri, Bayelsa East Senator, Ben Bruce among others. Reacting, however, the group said the development was a sad reminder of Atiku’s extravagant lifestyle. Raymond Clarke Amuna, President of the group, said the development was an indication to his dangerous tendency to hand Nigeria over to foreign interests, with Dubai being his latest preference. Amuna in the statement challenged the PDP candidate to explain to Nigerians how he intends to run a domestic-oriented economy for the masses with the kind of lavish lifestyle of taking his strategy team with over 400 members to Dubai. He warned that a vote for Atiku would definitely signal a return to the era where even bottled water is imported into the country and Nigerians will again be conditioned to believe that only things that are foreign are good. According to him, “Each time Atiku Abubakar considers slinking to Dubai he should be mindful of how the opulence of the desert city warps his sense of proprietary. He has never returned from his Dubai trips lucid enough to accept the reality in Nigeria possibly because his guilty conscience pricks him to know that the PDP could have done better for Nigeria in its 16 years of misrule. “There are various exotic venues in Nigeria that he could have used and have members of his team spend money to boost the local economy but he decided to expend his N20 million annual income in ferrying Peter Obi, Secondus and other clowns in his circus to Dubai for the strategy session. It is therefore not surprising that his team issued the statement castigating the government for planning to use the proceeds of privatization to fund the national budget. “The first thing of note is that Atiku Abubakar, a onetime Vice President (1999 to 2007) and by default the Chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC) at the time, was the originator of privatization or in layman’s term selling government owned enterprises, businesses and assets. It was under him that the chant of “government has no business in business” or “government is incapable of managing businesses” first gained ground and have remained a part of our collective psyche today. “This is why even as the nation continues to explore the diversification of its revenue source under President Muhammadu Buhari, people have been conditioned to the point that no one is thinking of creating enterprises that will address unemployment and revenue sources simultaneously. “Secondly, Atiku Abubakar spoke from experience. He is not sure that the national assets in question would be allocated to him and his cronies as it was done under his watch when he held sway over the privatization of most of the country’s assets. “He is therefore definitely waiting until such a time when he is certain that he can acquire the same assets for pittance. His media organization ranted on about how the assets to be sold were built by the PDP without being able to list a single one of them, which implies that the PDP candidate is claiming what he did not achieve.” Just yesterday, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, rubbished the meeting between the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his campaign team in Dubai. https://www.mcebisco.com.ng/2018/11/2019-atiku-under-fire-over-extravagant.html 23 Likes 3 Shares

They went to Dubai with their money, to discuss Nigeria's issues. We are solidly behind them. Buhari has been shuttling around the world since 2015 with our money. Quote me when you are ready to tell us the cost of his trips so far. 147 Likes 9 Shares |

There is obviously something very wrong with our so called leaders. It is unthinkable for an aspiring leader of South Africa or Kenya or Ghana to do this - But our rulers really think that Nigerians are gullible. Maybe they are correct! So, there is no single place in this whole country to hold a strategy session?? - No hotel, no ranch, no resort?? I may be wrong - but these guys really dont have anything to offer but to just continue with status quo. The people must take the country back! 38 Likes 3 Shares |

Who is more extravagant than Buhari ![]() That is enough to construct Lagos-Ibadan expressway or Enugu-Lokoja-Abuja highway. Buhari is a man whose unemployed son drives a 55m bike (Give 110 business oriented youths 500,000 of that money and you would have created 110 entrepreneurs and created over 1000 jobs), while that of Atiku manages a Sachet water company. Buhari's wife have flaunted expensive designer wears yet people call the dullard poor. A man who forged WAEC result and looted billions as PTF minister. I am not supporting evil leaders but Buhari is more wasteful than Atiku. Mind you, Peter Obi is a parsimonious person. Emancipate yourselves from tribalism, illiteracy and religious bigotry so as this country can move forward. Rwanda, Ghana, India, Malaysia, China and others have left us behind. 27 Likes 4 Shares

Atiku they pain APC ehnnn. You can not criticize Ariku enough. Nigerians care less about criticism once they have made up their minds. Buhari comes to mind with many damaging adverts done by PDP in the last election none could sway Nigerians from voting Buhari. It was actually a protest vote. It is same thing repeating itself. Some have said even if they see Atiku looting CBN of Nigeria they will still vote him. APC should forget this aspect of the game and focus on harping on their areas of achievements if at all there is any. 14 Likes |

Is it not Atiku's money? Why are they complaining? What about the taxpayers' money that the lifeless one and his Apcheat governors used to travel abroad multiple times for his holidays, medical trips, and other forms of truncating? What about the money used to buy Yusuf Buhari's 55 million naira power bike, which he destroyed, or the money used to treat him in Germany? What of the money used to buy Aisha's 10 million naira watch? Was all this not spent with money stolen from the national treasury? Atiku/Obi 2019. Una never see anything. #Atikulating 13 Likes |
