Presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has denied listing 30 corrupt persons in president Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
In a statement released by Phrank Shaibu, a media aide to the PDP presidential candidate, Director-general of Atiku’s campaign organisation and former governor of Ogun State Gbenga Daniel said the statement was not authorised by the former Nigerian vice president.
“Atiku Abubakar is a statesman and not in the habit of making unguarded and unsubstantiated claims about persons and institutions,” Deputy chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (South), Gbenga Daniel said.
“Atiku believes in the rule of law, and would not accuse people wrongly especially if no competent court of law has found them guilty.”
