You cannot unbundle NNPC and then make yourself the minister of Petroleum Resources. And then he made the Chief of Staff the member of the board of NNPC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the proposed sale of NNPC by Atiku, he said: \u201cThe man who wants to sell NNPC spent 8 years of his life as the vice president of Nigeria selling off whatever they could sell, but where did that take us?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NNPC that Atiku is planning to sell, he is not going to use the money from that sale on Nigerian people. In the first place, who is Atiku going to sell NNPC to? He is going to sell it to Atiku.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtiku bought a bunch of companies. He is one of a few Nigerians that cannot explain how he made his wealth and if he is already telling you that he wants to sell NNPC, you can understand that he is going to put Nigeria on Alibaba for sale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that is why he is leading a charge; they are charging towards Nigeria right now, a bunch of criminals are waiting in the wings so that as soon as Atiku wins, they can\u2019t wait to sell whatever they can find in this country to themselves and take over the country and all of you who are \u2018Atikulating\u2019 will find yourselves completely \u2018Atikulooted\u2019 by the time they are done. That is what they are used to doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWhat we need to understand is that this entity belongs to the Nigerian people. Run the place transparently with very competent and honest Nigerians and make the wealth from there available to the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what I would prefer to do instead of giving oil blocks to politicians, I will give it to universities, so that whatever profit they make, they can invest in education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can invest it as part of the university\u2019s wealth to create more opportunity for young people to go to school. I am just giving that as an example, it is not part of our manifesto yet, but these are progressive and creative ways of investing in the future.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidential candidate of the Africa Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has accused former Vice President and the flag bearer of the People Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, of planning to sell Nigeria.
