The presidency has responded to claims made by former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, stating that he is being investigated by the EFCC over alleged financial dealings with Lagos State, describing these allegations as baseless and unfounded.
In statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy on Friday, the presidency has dismissed these claims.
“These claims, circulated through his media, office, are false and reflect a troubling pattern of relying on social media gossip over substance,”,
According to Bayo, President Bola Tinubu is focused on tackling the country’s critical issues and pushing forward his administration’s plans for growth and stability, adding that he was not interested in getting distracted by minor political issues.
The Presidency further stated thus “Atiku’s allegations are infantile and a transparent ploy to deflect from his political setbacks.
He stressed that Atiku had chosen a pattern of contentious and misleading accusations as opposed to making meaningful contributions to public debate.
Onanuga emphasized that the former vice president should be reminded that the EFCC, as an independent institution, operates within its own mandate without external influence.
