Atiku Sparks Reactions Over Accusation Of Using SPVs To Syphon Funds

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has sparked reactions online following allegations made against him by his former media aide, Michael Achimugu.

Naija News earlier reported that in a first of a series of videos released on his YouTube channel on Sunday, Achimugu revealed Atiku’s explanation for the N100 million allegedly paid into his account by former Plateau State Governor Joshua Dariye.

He said that the PDP’s flag bearer’s explanation, during a conversation they had, that he had committed corruption indirectly was shocking to him.

He claimed that the Waziri admitted to him that former Plateau State Governor, Joshua Dariye, paid money into the account of Marine Float, set up and controlled by Atiku or his cronies.

Achimugu also revealed how one of Atiku’s friends appropriated a media company he set up with billions of naira.

He urged Nigerians not to vote for Atiku for the sake of their children and grandchildren, warning ‘Atiku’s attack dogs’ not to pursue him because there more videos that would be released if such should happen.

Following the development, some Nigerians took to social media to react to the allegations leveled against the PDP flagbearer by his former aide.

See some of the reactions below.

Do You Know ?

We all agree Atiku Abubakar is a Theef but using Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) to perpetrate these evils is another revelation that should fit into the Guiness Book of Record.

So this guy went as far as recording his conversation with @atiku explaining Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) as a name they call companies used for making money off government contracts.@officialABAT does this for free in Lagos but we're not ready for this conversation.

He always boasted that he is never convicted of corruption. Now we know the reason, he owns Marine Float & other such SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) for slush funds. Atiku will bury Nigeria if elected as president. Shame on all of u supporting him. He should be arrested now!

At this point, Atiku and Mikano boys should just stay out of the lane of Lion of Jada.

That audio was something else. Damn it!!!!

SPV – Special Purpose Vehicle.

So, when you hear Atiku, Obasanjo or Obi talking boldly about EFCC not investigating or touching them, it is because they are so sure of how they used corruption by Special Purpose Vehicle SPV. PDP & its branches are Cursed.
