A former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has responded to claims circulating online that he presented a new Toyota SUV to Lieutenant Ahmad Yerima. Yerima is the Naval Officer known for confronting Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, regarding a land dispute in Abuja.
The former vice president spoke on Thursday in a statement released to the public through his X handle by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe.
The statement by Ibe, who heads the Atiku Media Office in Abuja, said: “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.”
