A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has disclosed that if former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was corrupt he would have been prosecuted by ex-Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Musa Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, and President Bola Tinubu.
Momodu challenged anybody with evidence of any Atiku’s
corrupt practices with either the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, or Code of Conduct
Tribunal to make it known.
He spoke on Monday night while fielding questions from
participants of an X Space session titled “Avrilsspace: The Electoral
Mathematics for 2027.”
According to Momodu: “There is nothing under the sun that
has not been written about Alhaji Atiku Abubakar but I can tell you that they
have not been substantiated.
“Even the bloody fight between him and his former boss,
Obasanjo; you could see that if indeed Atiku was as bad as they claimed, there
is no way he would not have been tried at that time by his or thereafter by
Yar’Adua or Jonathan or Buhari or even now by Tinubu.
“So if anybody knows anywhere where Atiku has been indicted
for stealing public property, sharing public properties to his friends and
cronies they should please tell us.”
The former presidential candidate described Atiku as a
consummate Democrat who doesn’t encourage thuggery or militancy.
“My fascination for him increased after he became the
Director of Strategic Communications from 2022 to 2023 and I saw the way he ran
his office, he’s a seasoned administrator, a consummate Democrat, he allows
everybody the same.
“You will never go to Atiku’s house and find people wailing
around, whether they are thugs, militants or anything. He is such a
cosmopolitan gentle man and this has often worked against him but people say
this man is a Lagos boy.
“For me, if anybody has any evidence of an indictment or the
government of Nigeria should take to EFCC, ICPC, or Code of Conduct Tribunal
please feel free to tell us,” he added.
