Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied reports alleging that he gifted Lt. Ahmed Yerima, a naval officer who confronted Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Neysom Wike a brand new Toyota SUV.
A report titled “Atiku Abubakar gifts brand new 2024 Prado SUV to Yerima” has been circulating on social media.
But Atiku in a statement by his media aide, Paul Ibe said the story was entirely fabricated, urging the general public to disregard it.
The statement reads, “His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, Vice President of Nigeria (1999-2007), did not gift Lt. Ahmed Yerima — or any other individual — a brand new Toyota SUV, contrary to the false reports currently circulating on social media.
“The story is entirely fabricated and should be completely disregarded by the public”.
