State House, Abuja – The Presidency has accused former vice president, Atiku Abubakar of distá»rting facts to discredit the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, stated this while reacting to Atiku’s attack on Seyi Tinubu over the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project.
Onanuga said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in 2023 is âfast developing a reputation for distorting and manipulating facts for his self-serving objective of discrediting the current administration.â
He said the Tinubu administration has attracted over $20 billion into the economy since assuming office in 2023.
This was contained in a statement shared via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @aonanuga1956, on Monday, May 6.
He defended Seyi Tinubu’s business interests in CDK, a tiles manufacturing company, based in Sagamu, Ogun state.
CDK has a relationship with the Chagoury family, the owner of Hitech Construction Company handling the Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway project.
In a piece of related news, TimesNow.com.ng reported that a former senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, described critics of the ongoing 700Km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as enemies of progress who âshould not ply the road when it is completed.â
The media mogul described the project as âproof of the transformative power of visionary leadership by President Tinubu”, adding that David Umahi, minister of works, is a man of âdedication at the helm of affairs.â
