Presidential Atiku Abubakar is building a war chest and has allegedly
leased a $2.5 Million Jet for his campaign, several credible sources told
Pointblanknews.com.
Pointblanknews.com could not confirm which of the private Jet companies
between Hanger8, Kings Airlines, Top Brazz Aviation, Wings Aviation,
Overland Airways, Arik Air, Vistajet and Aero Contractors leased out its
jet to Atiku.
According to a Punch Newspaper findings, Nigerians, notably public office
holders and businessmen, spent about N29.7bn on charter flights in 2012.
The 50-Seater Jet according to one of the source close to the former Vice
President is to be used in touring States for consultations and campaigns
ahead of the Presidential elections.
The APC may pick its Presidential candidate from the North-East and Atiku
from Adamawa State is highly favored having allegedly received a tacit
endorsement from former Lagos State Governor, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
Already, some Northern Politicians have been drafted to begin
consultations and mobilization of Northern elders to accept his candidacy.
Arewa Consultative Forum, the apex Northern group is said to be neck-deep
in plot to have Atiku.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that Atiku is hinging his candidacy on the
premise that the North did not conclude its eight-year tenure, which was
terminated following the death of late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua.
It was gathered that the former Vice president has also hired the services
of several consultants to help design and fashion out the best campaign
strategy to be adopted.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that Atiku, a very wealthy Politician,
whose daily income from Intel and other businesses are said to be in high
millions, is not leaving any stone unturned in his quest to win the 2015
Presidential elections.
Atiku's wealth is immeasurable. He served in the Nigeria Customs for 20
years retiring in 1989 as a Deputy Director. A close aide of the former
Vice President said he owns more than 180 homes in Yola, capital of
Adamawa State. His businesses are said to be in several areas such as: Oil
Services, Education, Real Estate and Agriculture.
