He pointed out that members of the ruling party had a wrong impression that he was negotiating to join the party after the elections.
He also faulted the judgment by a United Kingdom Court in favour of Process and Industrial Development Ltd to take over the assets of Nigeria estimated at $9.6bn, describing it as “a judicial scam of the highest order and judicial tsunami.
Mailafia spoke with reporters during a meeting of stakeholders at the national secretariat of ADC in Abuja.
He said, “Just before the elections, there were pressures on me and I was even interrogated by security agencies over something that happened in the CBN about 10 years ago which was not even in my department.
“They blackmailed me that if I join APC, I would be forgiven. I told them, why can’t they join me?
“I even asked them why can’t President Muhammadu Buhari come and join my party, ACD?
“What does he have that I don’t have more than him? Is it their analogue generation that will save Nigeria?
“Somebody that has never even used a computer. What have they to offer Nigeria again?”
On the P&ID court verdict, Mailafia warned that if care was not taken, it would put Nigeria in a big mess.
He said, “The P&ID is a judicial scam of the highest order and it has been orchestrated by international forces that want to destroy our country.
“They did it in conspiracy with some high-powered Nigerians and it is very shameful.”
