Demola Olarenwaju, senior political assistant to African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, says Atiku is the most investigated politician in Nigeria since 1999. Olarenwaju argues that since 1999, no president has dragged Atiku to court despite Atiku challenging presidents electorally and constitutionally. He made the claim in response to a post on X by a user (@jrnaib2) asserting that if authorities had evidence against Atiku, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) would have acted or he would be detained.
In his reply on X, Olarenwaju reiterates that every president since 1999 has faced legal and electoral challenges from Atiku, but that none has brought court cases against him. The reports present the statement as a political claim from an aide, without citing court outcomes, specific investigations, or official records to substantiate the “most investigated” characterization.
