Atiku Allegedly Backed My Impeachment Plot with N5 Million – Obasanjo

 

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has alleged that ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar provided N5 million to support efforts aimed at impeaching him during their time in office.

Obasanjo made the claim while reflecting on the political crisis that strained his relationship with Atiku, stating that the funds were allegedly used to influence lawmakers involved in the impeachment plot.

The former president maintained that the move was part of a broader political struggle that characterized his administration, adding that the events significantly contributed to the breakdown of trust between him and his former deputy.

The allegation has reignited public interest in the long-standing political rivalry between the two elder statesmen, whose relationship has remained turbulent since they left office.

At the time of filing this report, Atiku Abubakar had not issued an official response to Obasanjo's latest claims.
