Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has refuted claims that he gifted a Toyota SUV to Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima, the naval officer involved in a dispute with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. In a statement shared on social media, Atiku’s Media Adviser described the allegations as baseless and urged the public to disregard the false reports.
The controversy stems from a recent confrontation during a site inspection at a disputed plot of land in Abuja, where Wike and Lt. Yerima had a heated exchange. This incident has sparked widespread reactions from various public figures calling for respect for authority and restraint. Atiku’s denial aims to clarify his non-involvement in the incident and the fabricated narrative surrounding it.
