Presidency accuses Atiku of distorting facts to discredit Tinubu govt

The Presidency has accused former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar of distorting facts to discredit President Bola Tinubu 's administration. Tinubu's media aide, Bayo Onanuga , in a statement, highlighted foreign investment opportunities being attracted by the government and defended the President's son, Seyi Tinubu 's business interests.

Onanuga criticized Atiku’s opposition to key projects, saying Nigeria is aiming for a $1 trillion economy under Tinubu’s leadership.“The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is fast developing a reputation for distorting and manipulating facts for his self-serving objective of discrediting the current administration,” Onanuga wrote on X.

Onanuga stated that the market, since Tinubu came to power, has broken records and created more wealth for the investors. Onanuga said when Atiku was the Vice President between 1999-2007, he maintained his business links with Intels that won major port concession deals.“Was this not an abuse of office, a flagrant violation of his oath, that a company where he was a co-owner won major government contracts and concessions when he was vice president?,” he asked.

Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno on Monday inaugurated the construction of Maiduguri’s 113-kilometer ring road project linking the east, west, and southern parts of the city.
