“The Tinubu Administration Lacks Coordination and Transparency” says Atiku

Atiku disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, signed by his Media Aide, Paul Ibe, that having the President’s son and his associates on the boards of companies belonging to Chagoury clearly states a conflict of interest.

The former PDP presidential candidate also claimed that Tinubu’s son, Seyi, is a director on the board of CDK Integrated Industries, a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group.

He said, “Thanks to quality reporting by Africa Intelligence, our suspicions have been confirmed that Chagoury and Tinubu are indeed business partners and it has been formalised with Seyi on the board of one of Chagoury’s firms.”

Buttressing his point, Atiku added, “enhancing the ease of doing business, the Tinubu government had allegedly demonstrated to the global community that his business endeavours and those of his family would consistently take precedence over national interests.”

Atiku also mentioned the Badagry-Sokoto Highway project, stating that it was awarded in a similar manner, without a competitive bidding, “from all indications, the so-called Badagry-Sokoto highway would be awarded in a similar fashion at an enormous cost to taxpayers purely because Tinubu has put his personal interest ahead of the Nigerian people.”

Furthermore, he said that the demolition of tourist and recreational facilities and other properties within the Oniru corridor, including parts of Landmark, without sufficient notice, “is one of the reasons foreign direct investments continue to elude the country.” In his words.

Atiku said that in more orderly environments, “establishments like Landmark would have been provided with a minimum of two years’ notice to facilitate proper planning.”

On petroleum and the current scarcity of fuel in the country, Atiku said, “from falsely claiming to have removed subsidies to secretly paying billions monthly based on the revelation of Nasir el-Rufai, the Tinubu administration has shown a lack of coordination and transparency, failing to even explain to Nigerians why there is petrol scarcity across the country.”
