The presidential campaign of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has been thrown into serious crisis following a 72-hour ultimatum issued by the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, for his arrest and prosecution for corruption, abuse of office and diversion of public funds.
The APC presidential campaign in a press conference on Monday in Abuja said accusation of financial sleaze against the PDP candidate by his erstwhile media aide, Michael Achimugu, must not be swept under the carpet but investigated to allow for Atiku’s arrest and prosecution.
