According to the report, the history of graft allegations surrounding the two candidates means neither is likely to curb corruption in the run-up to February’s vote.

The presidential candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress and opposition Peoples Democratic Party , Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, have been described as unfit to end corruption in the country.

"Atiku Abubakar, his chief rival, brought tens of millions of dollars of ‘suspect funds’ into the US when he was Nigeria’s vice president in the 2000s, according to a US Senate report, and was implicated in a bribery case that resulted in the imprisonment of an American congressman. Neither episode resulted in charges against Abubakar.The report noted that Nigeria’s next president will face a daunting challenge to turn around Africa’s largest economy.

"The local currency has depreciated steeply under outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari, falling from around N220 to the US dollar on the widely-used parallel market when he was first elected in early 2015 to about N600 this week. The report recalled how on the eve of the last election in 2019, two armoured bank vans were photographed driving into Tinubu’s home.

"Tinubu, 70, who lives in Lagos’s wealthiest neighborhood, says he made his fortune before going into politics by investing well and working as an accountant for companies including Deloitte LLP. This included at least $1.7 million in bribes paid by Siemens AG. Abubakar and his then-spouse previously have denied any wrongdoing.

God has raised Obi as a solution to Nigeria's problems, and the our has come for our liberation

ANTI - CORRUPTION Tinubu and Atiku are avoiding this word like a plague. Will they scrap the agencies if elected? Its up to Nigerians.

The two most corrupt folks in Nigeria political space.

'Bird's Of Same Feather' Treasury Looters. How can they fight against the system that brought them to where they are now? 'CORRUPTION ALL THE WAY'.

Lolol

Even the bible said OBIdient is better than SACRIFICE OBIdient is better than sacriATIKU and terrIBU

babajeje_ 2 fraudsters Atiku & Tinubu

Bloomberg noted that with the selection of these two aristocrats corruption will step up in this obodo Nigeria. This is a forgone conclusion. They are both experts in this field. Corruption will be their middle names. May God help all the poor people loruko Jesu Kristi.

Only me and me is clean

These two are big time criminals with PhD

u nko

I know it pained Sowore and co, that Peter Obi's name isn't included. Diggers association

Them no go talk na cos na two corrupt babas

Will Athiefku and Thiefnubu fight corruption If they won't, why should we vote for them Nigerians please wake up, our future is more important than these 2 thieves.

H E Olu Obansanjo, has spoken ill of all the Presidents after him but Yaradua .His allegations against Atiku are unfounded. For crying out loud the Same Obasanjo gave his blessings to Atiku before the 2019 General elections.

Chai dis 🤣 una get issues d way una dey report Olohun

Two enemies of Nigerians. Old schools, outdated and warn out corrupt candidates. We go shock una for various polling units across the 36 states including the federal capital territory. Bullion vans won't save you two.

Anti corruption died with OBJ

That's the choice. 🥹

Sowore's blog. Mumu blog. U couldn't do this first, Bloomberg had to come first. But you would focus on Obi. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Atiku, Tinubu are seeking for power to fulfill life ambition only.

Na only for youths dey sabi practice this rubbish on..

That is why the young men, Youths and women should rise up and be Obedient or face the consequences of not joining this electoral revolution. In Obedience we move 👌

Shameless zoo call Nigeria foolani Muslim terrorist country must collapse support biafar and oduduwa Ambazonian republic remember end SARS mansacer happy slaves

You needed Bloomberg to tell you that before you know🙄? Didn't you know is true🙄? All you do is to share rubbish so that you will gain favours and unmerited awards.. Rascals everywhere

Make bloomberg go sort hunter Biden lappy issue

Now or never

Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Peter obi Youth movement Just retweet.

WHO HAS GOTTEN THE SHAME,THEY MIGHT REAR THEIR UGLY HEADS UP TO MENTION THI;TO COME INTO LIGHT WITH THEIR SHAME.

We have a choice now, not tomorrow we will be shouting on television and redio station about bad government. These two are no go area forget tribe and religion. These two can not bring the government this nation needs now. A word is enough for the Wise

PDP stole millions during the administration of Obj and Gej while APC started from snake eating millions to their members stealing billions. Under APC, millions is thing for the snakes and too small for the members. If the must steal, it must be billions. Vote wisely.

Please watch this

If obi want me stand him let them fight release nnamdi kanu he is innocent

I stand for Atiku

Where are those hypocritical youths attacking others on sahara reporter's post against GEJ? I have not seen any of you promoting Sowore for president on Sowore's platform (SR), instead, Atiku, P. Obi, Tinubu!!! Such is life

Peter Obi: I want to be President bcos I want to move Nigeria from a consuming nation to a productive nation Osinbajo: I want to be President to consolidate on the good things this administration has started. Tinubu: I want to be President bcos it’s my turn. *CHOOSE WISELY*

He who seek justice, must come with cleans hands... Do these people have clean hands..

You can't fight what you embrace.

How can you promise what you don't have, nor be juju be that..

Did those who promised it not betray all of us?

All Nigerian in their various means of livelihood is corrupt. Corruption is from husband to wife. Father to children. Pastor to brethren. All Nigerian is corrupted. Everyone is making useless comment also corrupt with their comment.

Obi all the way

Ever have Nigeria been transparent so stop all this an individual can not change Nigeria just end the system let Referendum decide

Exactly

😢😂😆😁

officialEFCC officialEFCC officialEFCC officialEFCC officialEFCC

officialEFCC come and see

Obi is the only remedy PeterObi

The man of integrity

OgechukwuChime Expecting thieves to catch another thief is a lie taking too far seriously..

Nobody is fighting anything here in Nigeria unless you are fighting religion and ethnicity. Peter Obi can not succeed governing this country unless God want to make him unfortunate like his predecessors.

Finally Sahara published something reasonable

We are looking forward to hear from both tinubu and atiku about anti corruption during their campaign

You can't fight what you are involved in

Chinemerm4 Aso Rock has become the home for the aged. I hate the youths clamoring for presidency for these old folks who have looted Nigeria/ Nigerians. SayNo2SenilePresidency SayNo2Election SupportNigeriaDisontegration2SaveLives StopTheFraudCalledNigeria StopBritishNeocolonalism

AjayiWizeman Now that SR is on the news about Atiku and Tinubu, Obi fans dnt see SR as a shit media no more. Hypocrisy !

Peter Obi is getting closer by the day.. If Nigerians really need a new Nigeria. Then Peter Obi is the Magic, no 2 ways about it

Atiku is coming ❤️

RealOlaudah Just give readers the link to the Bloomberg report, and stop watering it down! OBIdients

This is one good report why Nigerians must reject these men , the are the personification of corruption, and are only coming to institutionalize corruption

It will be corruption continued & taken higher if anyone of them wins. If Atiku wins, APC looters will defect to PDP & if APC wins, PDP looters will defect to APC. But if Peter Obi wins, youths will take over the leadership of the nation, both PDP & APC looters will be retired.

E don set

The whole world knows these two bandits. Una go enter one chance again!

I hope you see how reporting is done. Factually, concise and hitting the bull on the head. Not the market square reporting you have been doing for years

They have history of fraud, bribery scandal and drugs! Let them go and deal and clear that before coming to be eligible. No new message from them. One according to OBJ was responsible for criminally ceeding Bakassi to Cameroun!

These men have nothing to offer. Tell their relatives to prepare them to meet their people at the other side. There are fantastically corrupt.

Damning! Just see the level a Nigerian is outside the shores of Nigeria. Are they telling us that two fraudsters are running to become our presidency allegedly. Hmmm! Yahoo yahoo will then be legalized in Nigeria under their reign.

These 2 are National Political Scammers, Fraudsters, Embezzlers, Thieves & Criminals

But PeterObi has no any corruption case. We have the alternative.

Let's be ready to get the next news from LAI MOHAMMED saying they will deal with BLOOMBERG 😂😂😂😂

Atiku and Tinubu must be OBI-dient!

The one that promised it nko? What did he do?

IykeAndi Buhari that ran on anti-corruption campaign. How has his government fared in corruption fight? Nigerians just who they want to chose not on the campaign mantra.

Tinubu is a hard drug dealer he should be disqualify from contestants Nigeria president what type of country is this ?

In a sane country these two shameless men should be in jail, but these is Nigeria where Abnormality has now become a Norm. Men that have no conscience.

Omo ThiefNubu and Atiku Abubakar on criminal allegation

What anti corruption fight brought to the table in the last 7years?

They are not worthy for the seat.

Two Criminals

SR make una do una Own report. No be bad tin if all hands are on deck. This tins no hard, una just lazy

Two big looters. Either of them would sell Nigeria and pocket the money, if mistakenly elected. We are wiser now pls

Pepper dem Bolaji pepper dem ooo

officialABAT bobo Chicago atiku bobo dubai how far?

Ndi Ori abuo

See why you should care about your reputation kings and queens

And their supporters are busy chasing Peter Obi supporters while their corrupt Oga’s are the one’s with big problem.

You suddenly found your pen cos Bloomberg already reported what you failed to report, all bcos you've been busy witch hunting PeterObi . Tueh! Una shame dey shame me!

How can they promise sincere and ruthless fight against corruption, when they're major beneficiaries and enablers of socio-economic and political corruption ravaging Nigeria and Nigerians? You can't give what you don't have.

Awon ole meji.

Woto woto. Obi is the only man standing

This is true cos victims of this can't promise to free what they are practicing actively..... I feel sorry for Nigerians..

We all know that the anti corruption fight will surely die 🎲

Of course, some will be truly crazy, outlandish, or bizarre. The candidates’ lunacy will prey on the gullible Nigerian voters. That's Good What a Misleading Write Ups 😀😂🤣🤣 Even Buhari told us that,it is left for those in your constituency to be responsible.

Beware of any candidate who comes in the name of fighting corruptionThe unravelings of the past seven years should jolt us to sombre reality, if for any reason we are still in the thrall of propagandised political chicanery. Any candidate who makes his election campaign about fighting corruption without antecedented… The funniest is the corrupt people pledging to fight corruption 😂😂 How please Lol. As if the writer himself believes in fighting corruption. The silliness of this article is that it trying overlook the fact that the society is corrupt but expecting only the political head to fight corruption. As if fighting corruption can happen in a vacuum
