APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe rejects African Democratic Congress (ADC) leader Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambition, saying Nigeria’s treasury should not be entrusted to Atiku. In a post on his official Facebook page on Saturday, Igbokwe argues that Obasanjo has previously told Nigerians that Atiku cannot be trusted. Igbokwe frames the point as a warning to Atiku, asserting that Obasanjo made the position “in no uncertain terms.” The articles also note that Obasanjo and Atiku are already engaged in a public dispute. Obasanjo has accused Atiku of spearheading efforts to impeach him while Obasanjo was in office. In response, Atiku says Obasanjo’s accusation about bribing the late Ghali Umar Na’Abba to impeach him is reckless and unfair, adding that Na’Abba is no longer alive to defend himself. Across the reports, the immediate issue centers on Igbokwe’s claim of Obasanjo’s alleged warning and the broader political and personal disagreements between Obasanjo and Atiku.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has said Nigeria’s treasury cannot be entrusted to African Democratic Congress (ADC) leader, Atiku Abubakar. Igbokwe, in a post on his official Facebook page on Saturday, claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo had told Nigerians that Atiku could not be trusted. He wrote: “Let me drop this here so that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will hear it. We cannot trust him with the treasury of Nigeria. “His principal, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has told us in no uncertain terms that he cannot be trusted.” Recall that Obasanjo and Atiku have been engaged in a war of words, with the former president accusing his erstwhile vice president of spearheading efforts to impeach him while he was in office. Responding, Atiku said Obasanjo’s decision to accuse him of bribing the late Rt. Hon. Ghali Umar Na’Abba to impeach him was not only reckless but fundamentally unfair to a man who is no longer alive to defend his name.
