Former Vice President and prominent politician, Atiku Abubakar, has publicly addressed allegations regarding his wealth and economic activities, emphasizing transparency and his track record in both public service and private enterprise.
In a recent statement, Atiku said he does not claim to be a “messiah” or promise unrealistic economic solutions, emphasizing a pragmatic approach to economic progress.
Claims suggesting that he became wealthy through government service are unfounded, noting that his assets declared in 1999 already amounted to millions of dollars.
His business interests, including shares held in a Blind Trust during his tenure in government, continued to grow independently of his public office.
He personally supported the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) financially, reinforcing his long-standing engagement in private business and politics.
Despite years of political rivalry, no opponent has produced evidence implicating him in financial misconduct, which he attributes to both his integrity and transparency.
Atiku’s remarks come amid ongoing political discourse and scrutiny of public figures’ wealth in Nigeria. By emphasizing his business acumen and consistent economic record, he seeks to reframe public perception and underscore accountability.
The former Vice President’s statement highlights the interplay between political narrative, economic achievement, and transparency in Nigerian governance. His call for assessment based on tangible economic progress rather than rhetoric reinforces a professional dialogue on ethics, performance, and public trust in leadership.
