Meanwhile, a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, declared earlier that Atiku is the cleanest amongst his counterparts running for the 2023 presidential race.
Raye24reporters, reports that Omokri while comparing Atiku to the presidential candidates of the two contending parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP), described Atiku as clean in terms of a corruption scandal.
The former presidential aide in a post on the micro-blogging platform Twitter said both Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi had faced corruption scandals at different times.
His reaction follows a recent document that surfaced on social media about Tinubu’s forfeiture of $460,000 by an Illinois court in the US.
