Atiku speaks about FG restoring Intels' contract
In another development, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP said he had already 'divested' from Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria Limited (Intels) and, thus, could not have been a beneficiary of the decision to rescind the cancellation of the contract between Intels and the FG.
Legit.ng recalls that some reports claimed that the Nigerian government restored the boat service contract to Intels after three years. Some posts, especially on WhatsApp, still linked Intels to Atiku.
In a social media post on Sunday morning, December 3, Atiku stressed that he sold Intels to Orlean Investment Group.
