• This was the accusation of Dino Melaye, the spokesman of the PDP's presidential campaign council
• Melaye said on Tuesday, January 17, that the opposition party has evidence of Tinubu's criminality

Dino Melaye, a spokesperson of the Atiku presidential campaign council, has said that there is evidence of criminality linked to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Melaye said this in response to a claim by a self-acclaimed former aide of Atiku Abubakar, Mike Achimugu, that the former vice president used the Special Purpose Vehicles to usurp funds while in office, Daily Trust reports.

In his defence of Atiku, Melaye noted that his principal is not the only former vice president of Nigeria, adding that people meet him on the streets on a daily basis and greet him cordially.

His words:

“We travelled on the streets of London. People were stopping him to take pictures with him. So, you see Atiku Abubakar, take a picture with him and interact with him for some minutes and say you are his aide. That is not acceptable.

“What I am saying in essence is this: Every statement made by that boy (referring to Mike Achimugu) was sponsored by the APC to create unnecessary distractions. Festus Keyamo has gone to court and written petitions on his name."
