@atiku admitted he made a "mistake" when he sold a $3.5Billion NIGERIAN ASSET that provided jobs for the Ikotun Abasi community and other Nigerians, for $130Million ($120mn hasn't been collected till date) to his "friends".
2) #NeverAgainPDP
Recall what @GEJonathan said about @atiku "We are all witnesses to the kind of economy Atiku ran as Vice President when he mortgaged our common heritage to himself and his cronies. He supervised the selling of our collective wealth in the guise of privatisation
3) #NeverAgainPDP
What @elrufai said about @atiku in 2011 "the overbearing interference of Olusegun Obasanjo & his Vice then, Atiku Abubakar, crippled the privatization programme.
Atiku called me and said I got a call from A&B, to help the guy win d bid"

I'm sure the Ikot-Abasi indigene would NOT be so stupid to vote for @atiku

"Before its closure, ALSCON was the second largest employer of the Ikot Abasi community after the local council. Almost 1,800 direct hires were NATIVES/LOCALS..."

"...Over 2,500 others worked for support-services companies. It was, perhaps, an answer to the region’s quest for solution to its environmental pollution and youth restiveness.

"Since its closure, over 200,000 residents of this agrarian community located in d oil-rich Niger Delta region, have been LIVING in darkness. Its only source of electricity, extended as token of social responsibility by ALSCON, was cut"

Would you trust this man with your future?
Remember all the companies he sold off, workers LAID OFF...how can he be talking about job creation when he's also talking about selling National assets, and the staff, retrenched?

ARE YOU ONE OF HIS FRIENDS?

Excerpt: "At peak operation in 1999, ALSCON EARNED $324M in exports of aluminium products. It created jobs, satisfied Nigeria’s aluminium needs of less than 20% and EARNED INCOME from exporting 80% of its products, according to the Bureau of Public Enterprises
8) “The Ikot Abasi Smelter was to bring desperately needed employment to the region”, the head of BPE, Benjamin Dikki, said.

“The privatization of ALSCON to d Russians has brought more pain than gain 2 Niger Delta people.
Its closure has turned into a nightmare for our people

A) Nigeria’s top brass APPROPRIATED ALSCON’s sale profits,

B) USED RUSAL as a FRONT for the willing buyer,

C) PAID FOR THE SMELTER WITH THE NATION’S FUNDS, DOCUMENTS SHOW"
