Friday, March 28, 2025 - Paul Ibe, media aide to ex- Vice President Atiku Abubakar has dismissed reports in some section of media alleging that the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu through Ms Aisha Achimugu made available to his boss money purportedly belonging to Lagos State.
Ibe described the allegation as a blatant lie from the pit of hell and a
futile campaign of calumny aimed at advancing the political interests of
President Bola Tinubu.
The Atiku spokesman stated that the goal of the allegation is get rid of
Sanwo-Olu and to discredit the coalition being put together by the opposition
political leaders, of which Atiku is a key stakeholder.
Ibe made this known in a statement on his X handle on Thursday, warning
that the campaign of calumny against the person and reputation of Atiku must be
halted immediately.
Part of the statement read: “We at Atiku Media Office have taken note of
reports in a section of the media that the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide
Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu through Ms Aisha Achimugu made available to His
Excellency Atiku Abubakar, Vice President of Nigeria, 1999-2007 money
purportedly belonging to Lagos State. The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) is also credited with investigating the matter.
“Let it be known, that this is a blatant lie from the pit of hell; a
contrived political hogwash, and a futile campaign of calumny aimed at
advancing the political interests of President Bola A. Tinubu.
“Indeed, their strategy is two-fold: get rid of Sanwo-Olu and to
discredit the coalition being put together by the opposition political leaders,
of which Atiku Abubakar is a key stakeholder.
“This voyage of misadventure and campaign of calumny against the person
and reputation of Atiku Abubakar must be halted immediately and with alacrity,
too.”
