Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has engaged the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, in talks over the burning issue of Nigeria’s restructuring.
This was disclosed on Thursday by Reno Omokri, former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, through his Facebook page.
Omokri, who shared a picture showing Atiku Abubakar in conversation with the British Prime Minister, also said that the Niger Delta region owes the former Vice President a debt.
He said that the Niger Delta region owes Atiku a debt because it was the Abubakar that persuaded Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to return to oil producing states the offshore revenues earlier denied them by Buhari during his first coming in 1984.
According to him, “Look carefully behind me. Guess who you see speaking with Theresa May? Restructuring on the agenda.
“Please pray for Waziri Atiku Abubakar if you support restructuring.
“In 1984, Major General Mohammed Buhari (rtd) reduced the amount of derivation funds paid to oil producing states to a paltry 1.5 % by military fiat and excluded the offshore oil revenues from derivation.
“In 2001, Atiku Abubakar persuaded Obasanjo to go for a political solution that returned offshore revenues to oil producing states. In 2004 it became law. The Niger Delta owes this man a debt!”
