Having chosen China as his benchmark, he unwittingly invited Nigerians to examine the very standard he thought would embarrass Atiku Abubakar,\u201d the statement read.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Atiku maintained that he had never been convicted or indicted for corruption, narcotics offences or any criminal offence in Nigeria or abroad.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe facts are neither complicated nor disputable. Atiku Abubakar has never been indicted or convicted by any court in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world for corruption, narcotics offences or, indeed, any criminal offence whatsoever. That is an incontrovertible matter of public record,\u201d Shaibu stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The former Vice President argued that if China\u2019s legal standards were being presented as a benchmark for accountability, then similar standards should apply when examining unresolved controversies involving public officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He specifically referenced the forfeiture of $460,000 to the United States Government in a civil proceeding involving funds allegedly linked to narcotics trafficking and money laundering, arguing that such matters would attract deeper scrutiny under China\u2019s system.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cChina is renowned for its uncompromising approach to narcotics-related offences and public accountability. It is not a jurisdiction where the forfeiture of suspicious proceeds ordinarily marks the end of official scrutiny. More often than not, that is where scrutiny begins,\u201d the statement added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beyond the legal controversy, Atiku accused the Tinubu administration of falling short of the accountability standards it sought to associate with China.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He alleged that issues surrounding budget implementation, alleged abuse of office and the controversy involving the purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) would attract serious scrutiny in a country like China.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNot in China would a president sign into law a national budget immersed in scandals, padding and duplicitous appropriations. Not in China would a President look the other way while a senior presidential aide faces grave allegations of creating a fake government agency. Not in China would a government campaign on Renewed Hope only to deliver renewed hardship to its citizens,\u201d he stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ADC presidential candidate also faulted the Presidency\u2019s interpretation of a recent response from United States authorities to Nigeria\u2019s diplomatic inquiry, which the administration had cited as evidence that there were no pending criminal proceedings against President Tinubu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Atiku argued that diplomatic correspondence between governments should not be portrayed as a judicial clearance.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Presidency should also stop brandishing the United States Government\u2019s reply to its diplomatic correspondence as though it were a judicial acquittal. Diplomatic correspondence between sovereign governments is routine. It is neither a judgment of a court, nor a declaration of innocence, nor an instrument for rewriting history,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He urged the Federal Government to focus on addressing economic hardship, insecurity and institutional challenges rather than engaging in political exchanges.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Tinubu administration would do better to devote its dwindling political capital to confronting the economic hardship, rising hunger, insecurity and institutional decline afflicting Nigerians instead of manufacturing diversions that collapse at the slightest contact with the facts,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Presidency\u2019s Allegations Against Atiku<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The controversy followed a post by Onanuga on his verified X account on Friday, where he accused Atiku of corruption and criticised his role in Nigeria\u2019s privatisation programme during his tenure as Vice President.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Onanuga alleged that the privatisation exercise under Atiku\u2019s supervision resulted in the sale of national assets to cronies and contributed to job losses and unpaid entitlements.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNigerians have not forgotten the legacy of the privatisation programme under Atiku\u2019s watch as vice president. He presided over an egregious privatisation heist, selling national assets to cronies for peanuts and causing thousands of job losses and unpaid salaries and pensions that President Tinubu is clearing today,\u201d Onanuga wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further argued that Atiku lacked the moral standing to seek Nigerians\u2019 votes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA man with such a dismal record as a public servant certainly has no business asking for our votes. Indeed, if Atiku Abubakar were a Chinese, he would be rotting away in jail for his crimes against the Nigerian people,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exchange represents the latest political confrontation between the Presidency and opposition figures as parties intensify preparations and positioning ahead of the 2027 general election, with issues of accountability, governance, economic performance and personal integrity expected to dominate political debates.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised the Presidency\u2019s decision to reference China\u2019s legal system in its defence of President Bola Tinubu, arguing that the comparison has&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":108781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
