ATIKU, in a statement by his media office, also alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was feeding members of the media with deliberate falsehoods in an attempt to cause disaffection between him and OBASANJO on one hand, and between OBASANJO and Nigerians in general.

He said the BUHARI government was bent on silencing OBASANJO’s voice, which he claimed they see as the pre-eminent critical voice against the misrule that  have been foisted on Nigerians.
