Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has exonerated himself from the $2bn Malabu oil scam and has lambasted the immediate past Attorney General of the federation, Mohammed Adoke to go and face his troubles.
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has told the immediate past Attorney General, Mohammed Adoke, SAN to go and face his problems and stop dragging his name in the mud.
The former Vice-President said this in Abuja on Tuesday, in a statement by his media adviser, Paul Ibe.
Ibe said, “The former Vice-President does not have a hand in the travails of the former Attorney General and Minister of Justice.
“The Turaki Adamawa advises the erstwhile Attorney-General and others so invited to focus on clearing their names instead of dragging innocent people into the fray.”
In the letter to Osinbajo on Monday, Adoke had alleged that the aggrieved individuals including Atiku, who is posing as Lawal Abba were behind the smear campaign against him for not extending the proceeds of the deal to them.
Adoke said: “I was also informed that these individuals had enlisted a notorious online media to smear my name with allegations of corruption and bribery and that some agents of the Abacha family and one Lawal Abba acting for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President were behind the scheme.
“They claim that they were shareholders in Malabu Oil and Gas Limited and had been short-changed by the main shareholder of the company, and that I had refused to use my official position as Attorney General of the Federation to help them get their dues from the main shareholder.
“It is apparent from these publications that the intention is not necessarily the clarifications sought by the EFCC but a carefully orchestrated plan for my assured unjustified persecution, humiliation and disgrace by a known group with interest in the Malabu matter that are aggrieved over my official role in the resolution of the case".
