Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Waziri Atiku Abubakar, says the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, plans to acquire Federal Government properties across the country if he becomes President.
Atiku’s Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, said this in a statement while reacting to Tinubu’s claim that Atiku sold off government properties and diverted the proceeds.
Shaibu stated that Lagos State where Tinubu has been ruling directly and indirectly since 1999 has become his personal property.
He noted that Tinubu in an interview with The News Magazine some 10 years ago, said he returned to Nigeria after the June 12 struggle with nothing.
Tinubu stated that “They dispossessed me of the house, as well as my office on Saka Tinubu Street. My vehicles and everything else I owned. They claimed they found bombs in it and dispossessed me of it. I was cleaned out. I had only five shirts, 2000 pounds, and jackets”.
He said Tinubu became the first governor in history to sign an obnoxious pension law that guaranteed lifetime benefits for himself and his family.
