Atiku said the transaction was labelled “Contribution Electioneering Campaign” but was neither requested nor approved by him or his campaign organisation. According to the statement, the account into which the money was transferred is a private account whose details are not publicly available. Advertisement“Neither His Excellency nor his campaign solicited, authorised or has any knowledge of the individual or entity behind the unauthorised payment.” “If the private banking information of a former Vice President and a leading presidential candidate can be accessed and deployed for reasons yet unknown, then no Nigerian’s financial privacy is safe,” Atiku said. Atiku also suggested that the incident could be connected to attempts to undermine his political campaign, describing such developments as tactics aimed at distracting or damaging his reputation.
