You lied about your background, source of wealth, Tinubu tells Atiku

January 4,2023

Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused Atiku Abubakar his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart of being a liar who cannot explain the source of his wealth.

Tinubu levelled the allegation while addressing North-West Muslim leaders in Kano on Tuesday

He asserted that Mr Abubakar’s explanation on how he became wealthy was inconsistent with the rules that guided the Civil Service, where Mr Abubakar worked before retiring.

“They asked one of them. How did you get rich? He said he was doing transportation and motor vehicle business. He had forgotten that civil service (sic), you cannot do any other thing if you are a custom officer but farm. Who is lying to who? Who is contradicting who?” Mr Tinubu queried mockingly to the delight of his supporters who cheered him on at the event
