ABUJA — Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of using political allegations against his former deputy for electoral purposes, saying the claims would not withstand scrutiny.
Ibe made the allegations in a statement posted on his Facebook account on Sunday, titled, “Obasanjo’s campaign of lies, political manipulation and orchestrated deceit falling apart like a pack of cards.”
He was reacting to comments attributed to Obasanjo alleging that Atiku had mobilised the late former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’Abba, to initiate moves to impeach him during their time in office between 1999 and 2007.
Ibe described the allegation as baseless and accused Obasanjo of revisiting allegations against Atiku during election periods.
He argued that Na’Abba, who died in 2023, could no longer respond to the claim.
