FORMER Vice President Atiku Abubakar Wednesday took a swipe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, noting that his former boss lied that he risked jail if he travels to the United States of America, USA.
.
In a statement Wednesday by his media adviser, Garba Shehu, Atiku Abubakar who noted that Obasanjo's statements in an EFCC magazine, "Zero Tolerance, "were not true, said, "The former President is wrong. It is widely known that Atiku didn't enter government broke. He declared his assets at the commencement of his Vice Presidency and did so at the end of his term as required by the constitution, which is a sacred document to Atiku.
.
"Atiku, who is currently returning from China after leading a private economic trade mission at the invitation of the Chinese government, travels often and has a well-documented record of building industries and putting thousands of Nigerians to work. And this record, quite frankly, has been thoroughly investigated."
.
Garba who noted that Atiku has no case against him by any arm of the law in any country in the world, including the United States, said, "President Obasanjo's repeated 'jokes' about Turaki not being able to go to America have become cliché, tiresome and not true."
Tolerance is a very big virtue for whoever wants to go into politics in Nigeria. It's good for them to be tolerant once in a while. It has to happen that way....
