Obasanjo, Atiku Squandered PTDF Money – Tinubu

Meanwhile, Tinubu has accused former president Olusegun Obasanjo and his Vice President, Atiku Abubakar of financial recklessness.

Addressing party members and supporters on Tuesday during a presidential rally in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, Tinubu alleged that Obasanjo and Atiku squandered the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF).

Tinubu alleged that the former president and Atiku, who is now the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) shared the PTDF money and started buying cars for their girlfriends.

According to the former governor of Lagos State, Obasanjo and Atiku later argued and fought about the PDTF money, instead of using it for the purpose intended.
