Michael Achimugu, a former media aide of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party has opened up about Atiku’s grand corruption, promising that more are coming.
Achimugu also warned Nigerians never to vote for Atiku for the sake of their children and grandchildren.
He warned the candidate’s attack dogs not to make any attempt to come after him as he has sworn to an “affidavit of facts”, which will be released should he be eliminated.
“My lawyers are well briefed and equipped for the mother of all exposures once something happens to me or any member of my family”, he said on his website www.lionofjada.com
“I have sworn to an affidavit of facts which will be released later, which is one of the steps I have taken for possible backlash for the series of disclosures I will be making.”
Achimugu in the first video, which has gone viral, about Atiku’s improprieties revealed Atiku’s explanation for the N100 million reportedly paid into his account by jailed Governor Joshua Dariye of Plateau state.
As Atiku’s media person, Achimugu had asked Atiku for his explanation
That Atiku told him was shocking: that he Atiku did not commit corruption directly, but by proxy, stealth or SPV, which is a shorthand for special purpose vehicle.
Atiku told Achimugu that Dariye’s money was paid into the account of Marine Float, controlled by Atiku or his cronies.
In the video released, Achimugu recorded Atiku’s lecture to him on what SPV means, how it was set up as vehicles for slush funds.
On the website, Achimugu also revealed how one of Atiku’s friends appropriated a media company he set up with billions of naira.
“The SPV conversation made me recall one of the most emotional moments I ever shared with him. It was at the end of 2017 and the Waziri had recounted how he spent “billions of naira” buying equipment and setting up a media company using one Olushola Akanmode as proxy.
“According to him, when he wanted his company returned to him, Akanmode refused. Atiku could not go to court because the documents were in the proxy’s name. That event was where he said to me, “All of the people I have helped are never as loyal to me as I was to Shehu Musa Yar’adua.”
“Moved by emotions, I had felt extreme pity for him. Today, Akanmode is still in his circle of friends. I will discuss the details in one of the sequels to this piece”, he wrote
