IPAC National Chairman, Yusuf Dantalle, has called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to apologize for alleging that opposition leaders are receiving funds from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Atiku recently claimed that the Federal Government is offering N50 million to certain opposition members to weaken their parties. However, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Dantalle stated that he would not take the accusation lightly.
“You (Atiku) may have your information but that is not enough for you to come out and say all members of the opposition have been given N50 million. As far as I know, my party is the Allied Peoples Movement and today I manage the umbrella body of all political parties in Nigeria, there is no national chairman or leader anywhere that collected money that I know,” he said.
The IPAC leader said Atiku was heating up the polity unnecessarily and creating an atmosphere of suspicion.
“What I expect Atiku to do, with due respect, is to apologise to opposition leaders the same way he made the allegation or he identifies and mentions the opposition leaders who are involved in this rubbish,” he said.
Dantalle added that he has spoken with various chairmen of political parties and they are upset over Atiku’s statement.
