Following ex-V.P Atiku Abubakar’s interview on Arise TV that stirred controversies in the APC government, its 23 presidential candidate, and other parties, one of those Atiku hit has blown up some secret.
Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, who publishes the Sahara Reporters, said Garba Shehu, then Atiku’s aide, used to send him dossiers to hit then- President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Atiku was at war with his principal then.
Sowore disclosed this in an interview with Arise TV while responding to the PDP candidate broadside—that Sowore lives outside of Nigeria, and comes every four years to contest presidential election.
“When Garba Shehu used to work with him (Atiku) as Special Assistant (SA), they used to send me documents from their side – I’m revealing it for the first time – to counter Obasanjo, in those days that they were on each other’s neck,” Sowore said in an ARISE interview on Monday.
The activist also hammered Atiku for the statement the V.P. made on power collapse in Nigeria.
“The national electrical grid collapse started when you and Obasanjo invested $16 billion to procure darkness for Nigeria. President Muhammadu Buhari regime came to gazette the grid collapse as a law. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, don’t pretend that you care about the national grid!” Sowore said.
