President Bola Tinubu confronted former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar at an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, demanding an explanation for how the former leader financed the construction of his university while serving in government.
During the campaign event, Tinubu criticised those who blamed his administration for Nigeria’s hunger and economic hardship. “Atiku was part of the government that managed the economy, so Nigerians should ask him where he got the money to establish his university while serving as vice president,” he said.
“Ask him how he built the university while he was serving as vice president and in charge of our economy. Who built the university for him? It was your money and your effort,” Tinubu added.
The president also questioned Atiku’s moral standing to criticise his administration, describing him as lacking the integrity and ethics expected of public office holders. Tinubu’s remarks came as the APC campaigns for the upcoming presidential election, with the party’s leadership facing scrutiny over the country’s economic challenges.
