The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) has demanded the immediate arrest and interrogation of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, over allegations of corruption leveled against him.
reports that the Chief spokesperson of the APC PCC, Festus Keyamo (SAN), made the demand at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.
Keyamo stated that about a week, the nation was shocked by the grave revelations by Atiku’s former media aide, Micheal Achmugu, with iron cast evidence against the former Vice President.
He asked security agencies in the country to arrest and question the former Vice President for allegedly fleecing the nation’s fund using “Special Purpose Vehicles” (SPVs) between 1999 and 2007.
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment alleged Atiku committed many infractions of the law and should be invited for possible prosecution.
The campaign council also asked the PDP candidate to tender an unreserved apology to Nigerians and step down from the presidential race immediately.
At the conference were Special Adviser Media Communication and Public Affairs Dele Alake; Director Media Affairs and chief spokesperson of the council Festus Keyamo (SAN); Director Media and Publicity Bayo Onanuga;
Director, Special Media Projects and New Media Chief Femi Fani-Kayode; and Director Strategic Communications Alhaji Idris Mohammed.
