2019: Buhari Might Not Allow Free Election – Atiku

Atiku Call Out Osinbajo To Explain The Loan Collected By The Federal Government

Former Vice President and Presidential Aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party,  Atiku Abubakar has alleged that the 2019 presidential election may not be free with President Muhammadu Buhari, a retired military man, leading the country.

He said unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, who was in power during the 2015 general elections and was “much more level-headed” being a “peaceful, (and) very patriotic Nigerian,” the country was now dealing with “a retired general, (who is) very uncompromising, also power-drunk; (and) who will not be ready to leave power without a fight.”

Nigeria News report on Monday evening quoted Atiku, claiming that these were “some of his fears for the current elections.”

“The characters that are involved this time, as far as the leadership of this country is concerned, are different from 2015,” he said.

He took the opportunity to call out the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, to explain to Nigerians the decision by the Federal Government to share $322m Abacha’s loot and also begged for a fresh $328m loan from China.

Report has it that the loan is for Information and Communications Technology development.
