Reacting to the outcome on his Instagram page, Stanley stated that “the AGN presidential election outcome is questionable.”

Expressing disappointment, he claimed: “It appears the process was unfair, particularly with regards to Hon Rita Daniels’ candidacy. The alleged influence of a powerful individual in Abuja is concerning.

“I acknowledge other winners, but the presidential election outcome is questionable. It is regrettable that some delegates prioritised personal gain over association integrity. Regina’s mum would have won Yakubu hands down, but powers in Abuja hijacked it. It’s well!! Shame on una.”

Former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has revealed the sources of his wealth.

Atiku is said to have an estimated net worth of between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion.

Speaking in an interview on Arise News on Wednesday, the former vice president said he amassed his fortune through diverse investments in logistics, real estate, agriculture, and education.

Atiku, who is considered one of Nigeria’s wealthiest politicians, said he has never been accused of corruption because the sources of his wealth are pure and open.

“Before I went into politics, I was already in business. I was in oil and gas, logistics. I was in agriculture.

“I was in a number of economic sectors of the country. Before I became… I virtually set up PDP.

“I virtually funded it. Why was I not being accused of corruption that time?”

He added, “The President (Obasanjo) set up a panel to probe me. That panel included El-Rufai, Nuhu Ribadu, and so many others.

“I waved my immunity and asked them to probe me.”

Atiku is one of the leading contenders for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential ticket for the 2027 presidential election.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has lamented that former Cross River Central Senatorial District Senator, Sandy Onor, lost many opportunities for standing with him.

Wike spoke over the weekend during the former lawmaker’s 60th birthday celebration in Abuja.

The minister recalled how Sandy was blocked from lucrative appointments because he (Wike) supported the former lawmaker’s governorship ambition.

He said, “I remember the time of NDDC; I called Sandy and somebody’s name was proposed. Because I supported him for governorship, they blocked it, and I said, ‘Don’t bother yourself; what will be, will be.’

“Now, the president, in his magnanimity, established the South South Development Commission (SSDC). The chairmanship of that commission was for Rivers State. I said, ‘Look, this my friend has done well, I will make the sacrifice, let it go to Cross River State, and he (Senator Sandy) should be the one.’

“But the state said they should remove it from him, and I said, ‘If you’re removing it, I will take it back.’”
