Mambilla: Produce evidence of tribunal indicting me for...








原文原文 / Original Text

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused the APC Campaign Council of deliberately distorting the outcome of the Mambilla arbitration.

Responding to the demand of the APC Council that he should quit the 2027 race, Atiku said the ruling party has taken a tribunal award, amputated its legal meaning, stuffed the gaps with political propaganda and presented the result to Nigerians as a corruption verdict against him when no such verdict was delivered.

Atiku said the distortion rests on a false and intellectually lazy assumption: that because he served as Vice President in the Obasanjo administration, every action taken by that government must automatically be attributed to him.

“History itself demolishes that argument. When the controversial third-term project arose under the same Obasanjo–Atiku administration, Atiku was not treated as a participant merely because he was Vice President.”

“He opposed it openly and stood against it. Nigerians understood then, as they should understand now, that serving in an administration does not make every office holder personally responsible for every policy, scheme or decision associated with that government.

“The same principle applies to Mambilla,” Atiku said. “I was not a member of the technical process that evaluated the competing proposals and recommended Sunrise. I did not sit on the procurement panel. I did not award the contract. So anyone alleging that I manipulated that process has a simple responsibility: show the instruction I gave, show the intervention I made, and show the paragraph of the tribunal award where that corrupt influence was found,” Atiku said in the statement issued by his

He challenged the APC to produce the exact portion of the final award where the tribunal found that he collected a $500,000 bribe, instructed former Power Minister Olu Agunloye to award the Mambilla contract to Sunrise, abused his office or participated in a corrupt conspiracy to procure the contract.

“There is no such finding,” Atiku said.
