The presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Bola Tinubu has lashed out at former president Olusegun Obasanjo and former vice president Atiku Abubakar accusing them of squandering the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF).
Tinubu made this accusation yesterday while addressing party loyalists during a rally organised by his party in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.
The APC presidential candidate claimed that the former president and his vice shared the PTDF money instead of using it for the purpose intended.
‘We mean what we say. We are not like that other party, 16 years of argument, absent-mindedness.’

‘Obasanjo and Atiku after sharing money in PTDF, what did they do? They started buying cars for their girlfriends and they went to the Wuse Market in Abuja and argued about it and fought, shame on them,’ Tinubu said.
He said he will not in any way fight with his vice president adding that “we are going to revive the economy, create jobs for our youths and develop agriculture.’
Tinubu equally assured that his administration will consolidate on the successes made by the Buhari administration by injecting more ideas that will help in giving more sense of belonging to the electorates across the country.
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, on Monday night arrived the United Kingdom ahead of a two-day visit on the invitation of the British Government.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Mr. Atiku, who arrived London in company of principal officers of his campaign team, will engage British government officials and others in the course of the visit.
