ADC Campaign Council Defends Atiku Against APC Claims
The ADC Presidential Campaign Council, through its Director of Strategic Communications Phrank Shaibu, responded to APC spokesman Felix Morka's allegations against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The Council stated that allegations should not be treated as convictions and criticized Morka for not addressing pressing issues like food and fuel costs.
They disputed claims regarding foreign reserves, clarifying that the Central Bank of Nigeria reported $34.39 billion at the end of May 2023, countering Morka's assertion of reserves exceeding $54 billion. On the Mambilla arbitration, the Council noted that the tribunal questioned a $500,000 payment involving Leno Adesanya and Jennifer Douglas but found no evidence of bribery involving Atiku.
They also referenced a 2010 U.S. Senate report, which did not establish criminal guilt against Atiku.
The Council highlighted Atiku's contributions during his vice presidency, including the introduction of Universal Basic Education and his role in economic reforms.
