Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja
Barely 12 years after accusing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of corruption in his book: ‘The Accidental Public Servant’ published in 2013, a former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has made a U-turn, saying that Atiku deserves credit for spearheading economic reforms during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.
This is just as a group, Transparency and Accountability Network (TAN) berated Atiku and el-Rufai for turning a condolence visit to the family of the late Chief Edwin Clark into another political charade.
Debunking El-Rufai’s allegation, Atiku who told Zero Tolerance, a publication of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in November 2016 that El-Rufai betrayed him, further claimed that the former governor of Kaduna State offered him some shares in Transcorp Plc, which he rejected.
