In a press statement issued via his X handle, Atiku’s Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, dismissed the report, stating that it could not be further away from the truth.
According to him, Nigerians should disregard the fabricated story completely because Atiku never gifted the officer any car.
“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.
