Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, has refuted any connection with Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria Limited (Intels).

Recent reports suggested that Atiku benefitted from the decision to reverse the contract cancellation between Intels and the federal government.

In response to the report, Atiku took to his official Twitter account on Sunday to clarify the situation. He stated that he sold his shares in Intels in 2020 and publicly announced his departure from the company in January 2021.

“In January 2021, I made public the sale of my shares in Intels to the parent company, Orlean Investment Group. The phased sale of those shares, which began in 2018, was completed in December 2020. Intels also confirmed my exit from the oil and gas logistics company, indicating that a different entity now owns the shares I sold.”

Atiku emphasized that his divestment from the company he co-founded has not been reversed. Therefore, he categorically denies being a beneficiary of the reinstatement of the boat pilotage monitoring business that was previously taken away from Intels by the Federal Government.

He concluded by stating that the insinuation that he benefits from the decision to rescind the contract cancellation is false and should be recognized as an act of mischief.
