President Bola Tinubu has declared that he is clearing the mess created by the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Atiku Abubakar, while he was the Vice President of Nigeria.

Tinubu accused Atiku of privatising government investments while in government but forgot to pay pension.

The President made the statement during a meeting with the Nigerian Diaspora Medical Association and the North-East stakeholders for renomination of Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

Tinubu said, “There is nowhere like home. I have experienced being in America and have taken the best of America in my chosen profession, accountancy and finance. 

“Where can I apply it best after initial training with Deloitte & Touche? I can’t forget the standard oil building in Chicago and my first week there.

“The leadership of the North-East is challenged because of terrorism and banditry. I could see a collaboration that would work together. Only we stick together, work together, and face the challenges the best way possible as a united country.

“The golden age is here now if you can stabilise the economy, Nigerians are not asking for too much, simple stability and social welfare, if I can go political, somebody among my prospective opponents privatised government investment in public entities, but forgot to pay the pension. I’m clearing the pensioners dues now, so clearing the mess they created.”
