Mambilla: Atiku denies indictment over suspicious $500,000 payment, but silent on key issues raised by ICC tribunal The post Atiku denies corruption verdict, but fails to address ICC tribunal’s concerns over $500,000 payment appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria .
Atiku Abubakar has denied being indicted over a suspicious $500,000 payment related to the Mambilla arbitration. He claims the APC Campaign Council has distorted the outcome of the arbitration, presenting it as a corruption verdict against him when no such verdict was delivered.
Atiku said he was not involved in the technical process that evaluated proposals or the procurement panel for the Mambilla project. He also stated that serving in an administration does not make every office holder personally responsible for every policy, scheme or decision associated with that government.
Atiku's response did not address concerns raised by an ICC tribunal regarding the $500,000 payment, according to Premium Times. The APC Campaign Council had demanded that Atiku quit the 2027 race following the arbitration outcome.
