Atiku Campaign Speaks On PDP Presidential Candidate Stealing Billions

The PDP Campaign Organisation has reacted to the fraud allegation leveled against the party’s presidential candidate.

Naija News had earlier reported that Atiku’s former aide, Michael Achimugu accused the former vice president of fraud.

Achimugu published a video on his YouTube channel on the 8th of January, 2021, of audio believed to be a phone conversation between him and Atiku.

It was believed Atiku admitted to opening companies known as Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) during his time as the vice president.

Achimugu alleged that the PDP presidential candidate opened SPVs which are also known as shell companies so that diverted funds would not be traced to him.

Reacting to the allegations, the PDP PCP Director of Public Affairs, Dino Melaye, however, accused Achimugu of working for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said, “What sort of media aide is he? Where is his appointment letter? Let him tell us one publication he made on behalf of Atiku Abubakar. I don’t talk to these small ‘419 yahoos’ boys. He is only looking for attention after collecting money from Bourdillon. He should get out so we can focus on more serious matters.”
