In this article, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is challenging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address serious questions raised by American legal documents instead of making personal attacks. Atiku's spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, criticizes Tinubu for focusing on irrelevant details about a lobbyist's personal life instead of answering the accusations tied to his name in U.S. records related to drug investigations and money laundering. Shaibu points out that Atiku's engagement with the lobbyist was properly registered in the U.S., while questioning why Tinubu's name appears in connection with a significant money forfeiture case. He argues that both politicians have the right to hire lobbyists, but highlights the hypocrisy in Tinubu criticizing Atiku for spending less on lobbying compared to his own much larger lobbying expenses. The statement emphasizes that insults and distractions won't change the facts in the documents. It calls on Tinubu to focus on pressing issues affecting Nigerians, like rising costs of living, instead of deflecting attention with personal attacks. Atiku is ready to discuss domestic issues if Tinubu is willing to engage in that conversation.
