Former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has blasted Governor Nasir el-Rufa of Kaduna State for daring to accuse him of corruption… “Well if Atiku is corrupt, he would have been found guilty of corruption by all the panels and probes and cases brought before courts.”

“I remember the only corruption indictment against me was a white paper which was cooked up by our own administration over night to including the very EFCC that I helped found and other cabinet ministers, which I challenged in court.”

“The court rightly dismissed all those indictments as being mere political; and till today nobody has ever indicted me of corruption. This is the same el-Rufai and others who incorporated Transcorp during my time as Vice President and offered me shares and I declined.”

“I wrote to them officially to say it was unethical of me to have accepted those offers, so, where is the corruption toga coming from. It is also on record, because I controlled campaign funds, every Senator benefited from those funds; and el-Rufai now went and said those campaign funds were meant to be bribe.”

“Of course my boss, the president, investigated the story and found out that indeed every Senator got contributions from the campaign fund which I was managing. So where is the corruption in that?”
