\u201cFESTUS KEYAMO: \u201c\u2026Obasanjo and Atiku run a criminal enterprise, an empire of fraud in Abuja. At the same time that Ahmed Bola Asiwaju was toiling hard, beautifully and meticulously to rebuild Lagos, 2 criminals were stealing money in Abuja at the time\u2026they both stole from the SPV account at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSpeaking about the whistle blower, Micheal Achimugu, he said, \u201cWe suspect that some goons of Atiku Abubakar are planning to eliminate him and members of his family. In fact, my big brother FFK actually hinted me about something like that yesterday\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Anytime you hear Atiku say Wallahi Talahi, just reply him say, na lie you lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 The man who left here, he calls himself Peter Obi. We read in the Bible, that before cock crows 3 times, he will deny Jesus Christ. He denied, so how can he keep a promise to you if he cannot keep a promise to God\u201d<\/p>\n
