Mallam Garba Shehu, Media Adviser to Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, issued a strong statement Wednesday in Abuja defending his boss in reaction to corruption accusations made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in an EFCC magazine “Zero Tolerance”.
Obasanjo had said in the interview that the former Vice President risked jail if he travelled to the United States.
“The former President is wrong. It is widely known that Atiku didn’t enter government broke. He declared his assets at the commencement of his Vice Presidency and did so at the end of his term as required by the constitution, which is a sacred document to Atiku,” Garba Shehu said.
According to him, “Atiku, who is currently returning from China after leading a private economic trade mission at the invitation of the Chinese government, travels often and has a well-documented record of building industries and putting thousands of Nigerians to work. And this record, quite frankly, has been thoroughly investigated.”
