Former Nigeria vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has denied listing 30 corrupt persons in president Muhammadu Buhari’s government. Statement was released by Phrank Shaibu, a media aide to the PDP presidential candidate. But the director-general of Atiku’s campaign organisation and former governor of Ogun State Gbenga Daniel said the statement was not authorised by the former Nigerian vice president. Information minister Lai Mohammed on Friday, January 18 said Atiku had questions to answer on an N156 million fraudulent transaction at the defunct Platinum Habib Bank (PHB). Atiku and the PDP, however, said he had no questions to answer.
