Keyamo vows to drag Aiku to court
Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, had reiterated his vow to drag Atiku Abubakar, the presidential standard-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, to court.
The APC chieftain planned to sue the PDP candidate over alleged money laundering and other related offences.
Why Keyamo may drag Atiku to court
In a viral video, Michael Achimugu, a whistleblower, made an allegation against Atiku, stating that the former vice president deployed Special Purpose Vehicles to embezzle money when he was in office between 1999 and 2007.
In reacting to the allegation, Keyamo and the APC PCC petitioned the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences (ICPC) to take action.
On his part, Dino Melaye, the spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign, said the allegation was merely a fairy tale, and the Atiku camp would not engage the APC on the matter.
However, Keyamo said the court would decide if it is a fairy tale or not.
