Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, yesterday described the attack on HSBC by the presidency for predicting President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election failure as hypocrisy.
Atiku, in a statement by his campaign organisation yesterday, noted that the N12 trillion worth of debt which the Buhari administration is saddling Nigeria with was funded from HSBC, which is the world’s largest bank.
“When they were taking their money, the ever begging Buhari administration did not know that HSBC was corrupt. It was after the HSBC told the truth about the Buhari government that they knew that the HSBC is keeping looted funds,” the statement added.
Atiku recalled that presidency called HSBC ‘A bank that soiled its hand with millions of US dollars yet-to-berecovered Abacha loot’.
He however noted that the presidency forgot that President Buhari said ‘Abacha did not steal’ adding that “if Abacha did not steal, how could HSBC keep recovered Abacha loot? When you tell so many lies, you begin to contradict yourself.
