Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has revealed that he saved President Bola Tinubu from being impeached during his tenure as Lagos State governor.Speaking at an event on Thursday, Shettima said that both Atiku and National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu once benefited from President Tinubu’s political support during their times of persecution.
Reacting in a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, on Sunday, Atiku said Shettima “goofed,” adding that “truth be told, it was Tinubu that actually benefited immensely from Atiku’s goodwill.” “But for Atiku’s support, hinged on his pro-democracy instincts and rule of law, Tinubu’s tenure as governor of Lagos would have been rough with a wide possibility of termination of his political career,” he said.
The statement continued: “Shettima needs to be reminded that Atiku did not run under the Action Congress of Nigeria , but Action Congress . AC came out of a coalition of ACD , formed by mainly PDM members and other associates and Tinubu’s faction of AD.
