ABUJA: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has challenged President Bola Tinubu to produce evidence of wrongdoing against him over the controversial $16 billion power sector expenditure, insisting that he should be investigated and prosecuted if there is a genuine case against him.
Atiku, in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, accused the Tinubu administration and its supporters of resurrecting decades-old allegations as a diversion from growing demands for accountability over the management of funds saved from the removal of petrol subsidy.
The former Vice President said the renewed focus on the power sector, privatisation and public assets was an attempt to change the subject at a time Nigerians were demanding to know what had happened to the resources accruing to government after subsidy was removed.
