#AtikuGate: Atiku’s Ex-Aide Reveals Grand Corrupt Practices By Ex-VP [VIDEO]

Michael Achimugu, a former media aide to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party Atiku Abubakar, has revealed how the former Vice President carried out a series of corrupt practices during his tenure in office.

Achimugu, in a viral video, alleged that Atiku received N100 million as a bribe from former Plateau Governor, Joshua Dariye, through an SPV- a special-purpose vehicle.

He said he requested an explanation from Atiku on the money he allegedly received from the jailed ex-governor.

Atiku disclosed to him that he 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, and how it was set up as a vehicle 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 a 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 when 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.

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.”
