Atiku is not corrupt –Dickson Iroegbu

Atiku

Entertainment and media personality, Dickson Iroegbu, doesn’t hide the fact that he wants Atiku Abubakar to be Nigeria’s next President come 2019.

He even convened CEFAM, Celebrities for Atiku Movement, to campaign for Atiku.

And when Oseyiza Oogbodo Blog spoke with him recently on the feeling in many quarters that Atiku is corrupt, and what he’s doing to clean the corruption image so that Atiku can be presentable to the general public like it’s said that Bola Ahmed Tinubu and others had to clean up Muhammadu Buhari’s image to present him for the presidency in 2015, his response was emphatic.

“No, no, no, first of all, there’s no image to launder. All that has to do with corruption allegations against Atiku is allegations. He has even challenged, including the current administration, to bring out facts on the table, and if you don’t have, shut up. He has said rather than talk about him being corrupt, bring your evidence on the table. So there’s no image to launder. It is simply a case of choice. 

“First, it’s a constitutional right for me to make a choice. I’ve chosen a candidate. I’m not just choosing this candidate, I’m also mobilizing, reaching out, telling Nigerians the truth because a lot of conspiracy came out from the Obasanjo government against Atiku because he stood against third term. And because he stood against it and ensured that it didn’t work, Obasanjo as President of Nigeria, Commander-in-Chief, his foot soldiers went to war against Atiku, and the image is what he’s struggling everyday to rescue himself from.

“But the truth is that it also gets to a stage in a people’s lives that you choose your leader, so this is that moment when Nigerians should for once choose their leader.”
