\u00a0of N50million Donation To Obasanjo Library,
\nLegitimate-Atiku<\/p>\n

Former Vice President and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
\nduring the 2019 Presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has said that it
\nwas wrong to criminalise donations to institutions promoting peace in
\nNigeria and Africa.<\/p>\n

Abubakar said this in a statement issued by his Media Office in Abuja,
\nNigeria\u2019s capital, on Monday.<\/p>\n

His position was in reaction to a publication alleging that his
\nson-in-law, Babalele Abdullahi, donated cash to the Olusegun Obasanjo
\nLibrary in Abeokuta, Ogun State.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, Abdullahi, did not donate any
\nmoney in cash to the Obasanjo Library.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, he did facilitate a donation of N50m to the Obasanjo Presidential
\nLibrary, but so did many other individuals, including civic-minded
\ntraditional rulers, state governors, bankers and captains of industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library is a
\nnon-governmental organisation that plays a pivotal role in promoting
\npeace and stability in Nigeria, and that should be applauded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sources of these funds are completely legitimate and have been
\nconclusively proven to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it be known that the government established the EFCC to be an
\ninvestigative body and not a propaganda or enforcement arm.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
