Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Obidients said Atiku Bagudu is the man who helped Sani Abacha to loot money and $150M in France.
While emphasising the need to reinforce collaboration on both political and economic fronts, the President welcomed the growing cooperation between the two countries in areas of shared interest, such as climate change, economic integration, education, and culture.
Tinubu also acknowledged the signing of a €100 million agreement between Nigeria and France to support the i-DICE programme — a Federal Government initiative to promote investment in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Creative Arts Industries.
In a statement, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said President Bola Tinubu commended the European country for the decision.
Receiving the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Catherine Colonna, the highly-elated President hailed the strengthening of bilateral relations between Nigeria and France, noting that this progress followed his visit to Paris after his inauguration.
Obidients wrote on Twitter:
Michelle: Abacha Story becomes more real to a reader, when you realize that the man who helped Abacha to funnel all the loot is well & alive. His name is Atiku Bagudu, the current minister of Budget & Planning in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a Crime Scene in progress.Â
Rinu: This is Atiku Bagudu, Tinubu’s minister of Budget and Planning and an APC member.
He was the one who helped Abacha to take all the money that Abacha stole from Nigeria to different banks abroad.
In fact, the current CJN, Oluwakayode Ariwoola (GCON), in 2014, ruled on a forfeiture case against Abacha & Atiku Bagudu as a proceeding from crime.
Pastor, instructed us yesterday, not to scrutinize him and that we should pray for him to succeed more in Tinubu’s government.
