Atiku Abubakar Exposed

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of Nigeria  has been exposed by Ex-National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmadu Ali:

“When the then Vice President Atiku Abubakar decided to criticise PDP and the government, I summoned him and warned him. The then President Obasanjo wrote a letter to me saying his deputy, Atiku was running down the party and the government and that this should not be. I agreed with him because he asked me to intervene. So, I summoned the vice president and decided not to involve the National Working Committee but invited the (then) Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Tony Anenih, and I opened fire on him.”

“He felt very bad. He said I was biased and I said his statement was irresponsible. He said it was not in his written statement. He said it was a passing statement that he made that journalists used as the headline – that’s how the press is. I said he should go and write a letter of apology to the president and that he should bring a copy to me. He did so.”

“When the problem came up again, he was actively involved in recruiting members from all over the country. I identified them and summoned them for disciplinary measures and suspended them, including the vice president, for three months. I told them, ‘When you show remorse, come back to the party.’ All of them, including Jim Nwobodo, all ran back to the party within three months. Atiku refused to come back. He continued and I didn’t care.”

“That was when I ordered a re-registration of PDP members and they did not register him in his state. He complained to me and I came out to apologise on behalf of the party and I registered him with my own hand.”
