Frank said Atiku, who
returned to Nigeria around 1am on Sunday morning from his vacation in Dubai was
thoroughly searched by a Special Squad of security men deployed by the
presidency for some hours with recording gadgets on them and in and around
Atiku’s aircraft. “Nothing, was however found on him or in his aircraft.”
According to Frank, plan to also drop bags of foreign currencies and other
implicating things in Atiku’s aircraft on his arrival was also unsuccessfull.

they were directed by the presidency to embarrass the former Vice President.

The former APC spokesman
said the security men were disappointed when nothing implicating could not be
foundd on either Atiku or his aircraft. While condemning what he tagged
President Muhammadu Buhari’s move to desperately nail the PDP presidential
candidate, Frank said if the former President Goodluck Jonathan was so harsh on
President Buhari in 2015, he couldn’t have occupied the office today. Frank
said since Atiku Abubakar left office as Vice President for eight years, “this
is the first time out of desperation to nail him that he has been searched
embarrassingly.” He, however warned president Buhari to desist from his act of
desperation against the PDP presidential candidate. “Due to information at our
disposal, I have been saying it that the PDP presidential candidate is not save
under this administration because the Buhari’s administration is deploying all
manners of devilish strategies to nail all the opposition leaders especially,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. “We are using this medium to inform the international
community to also take note of how Buhari administration is intimidating the
opposition presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who has served Nigeria as
Vice President for eight years.”
