Paul Ibe, the media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has rejected claims that Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu sent state funds to Atiku through Ms. Aisha Achimugu.

Ibe called the allegation a complete lie and a political attack designed to benefit President Bola Tinubu. He stated that the real aim is to remove Sanwo-Olu and weaken the opposition coalition, where Atiku plays a key role.

In a statement posted on his X handle on Thursday, Ibe urged those behind the false claims to stop their smear campaign against Atiku.

He emphasized that the Atiku Media Office is aware of the reports and firmly denies any involvement in such financial dealings. He also criticized those spreading these claims, saying their goal is to damage Atiku’s reputation and disrupt opposition efforts.

Ibe warned that this political attack must stop immediately.
