The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has publicly challenged everybody including President Muhammadu Buhari to report him to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The PDP made this challenge while speaking with Aliyu Mustapha, a correspondent of the Voice of America (VOA). Atiku said:

“I have challenged everybody publicly or otherwise, that if you have any evidence of corruption against me while I was in public office or as a politician, feel free to go to EFCC or the court, but nobody has come.”

Atiku had earlier called on President Buhari to stop blaming the Nigerian system for his failure in fighting corruption. (Read the report HERE).
