The Minister of State Labour and Employment Festus Keyamo has given the three anti-graft agencies 72 hours ultimatum to arrest, interrogate and prosecute the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Keyamo, in a five-page petition dated today, January 16, 2023 to the Chairmen of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) accused the PDP candidate of four major infractions.
He alleged that Atiku colluded to fleece the country of public funds using what he termed as “Special Purpose Vehicles” (SPVs).
The Minister, who is also the chief spokesperson and Director of Public Affairs to the
All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (Council), maintained that with the public revelations of a whistleblower, Mr Michael Achimugu and pieces of evidence, Atiku Abubakar has a case to answer, calling on the three anti-graft agencies to arrest, interrogate and possibly prosecute the former Vice President.
