Tinubu: Atiku Lacks Moral Integrity, Latitude, Ethics to Hold Public Office.
It’s people’s money, their effort, president alleges You won’t regret what you have done, Tinubu tells Fubara on Wike reconciliationYour attack a desperate attempt to Who built university for him?
Tinubu alleged that Atiku used public resources to establish his private university.
In a swift response, Atiku described Tinubu’s allegation as a desperate attempt to distract Nigerians from his administration’s failures, saying his investment in education predates his time in public service.
The former vice president explained that in 1993, when a United States court ordered the forfeiture of funds in the president’s bank account, describing the funds as proceeds of narcotics trafficking or funds involved in unlawful financial transactions, he (Atiku) was laying the foundation for his private university. Speaking yesterday during the APC presidential campaign rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, the president challenged Atiku to explain how he funded the establishment of the institution while serving as vice president. The APC rally, held at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, was organised by the Rainbow Coalition, a political alliance led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election bid. He accused the former vice president of using public resources and Nigerians’ efforts to build the university, describing him as lacking the moral integrity and ethical standards required for public office.
