In a statement on Sunday, Atiku described the claim by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as misleading, pointing to a pre-action notice issued by Malabu Oil as proof that the dispute remains unresolved.
He warned that excluding a major stakeholder from the process raises serious due process concerns, noting that several related cases are still pending before the Supreme Court and the Federal High Court.
Atiku said it was “troubling” that Malabu, a key stakeholder, “was neither consulted nor involved in any purported negotiation or settlement process,” adding that sidelining critical parties reflects “recklessness” rather than strength.
He also expressed concern over reports that up to 30 percent of Nigeria’s Joint Venture assets under the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited could be sold.
