The damning document
Throughout 2017, Atiku through Intels was funding PDP working with Secondus.
Intels Nigeria Limited, INL is owned by Atiku who has the largest share. INL is allowed to collect revenue on behalf of Nigerian Ports Authority.(NPA).
From 20 per cent it went up to 28 per cent. Intels later wanted their commission increased to 35 per cent but that was rejected by government.
Atiku raked in billions year in year out from 2010 when the 28 per cent deal was signed.
Atiku is now desperate to keep this sweet deal beyond 2020 when the deal expires.
Buhari with the introduction of Treasury Single Account and the revelation of the dubious adjustments will not renew Intels contract and Atiku knows.
Intels monopoly to collect all revenue on behalf of NPA is about to be broken forever by Buhari after the expiration in 2020.
