In a statement today, January 4, Atiku attributed his disinvestment in the company to the fact that “this Government has been preoccupied with destroying a legitimate business that was employing thousands of Nigerians because of politics.”
The statement quoted Atiku as complaining that “there should be a marked difference between Politics and Business.”
Atiku, who contested the 2019 Presidential election on the platform of the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had redirected his investment to other sectors of the economy for returns and creation of jobs.
