2023: Gumi, Tukur Mamu fly in private jet, campaigning for Atiku – claims Fani-Kayode
Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has accused the People's Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of having ties to the detained terrorists' negotiator, Tukur Mamu and its director, Ahmad Gumi.
DAILY POST recalls that Tukur Mamu, believed to be a spokesperson for the controversial Islamist cleric, Gumi was arrested in Egypt on Tuesday and repatriated on Wednesday.
The suspect is currently in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, who searched his home on Thursday and recovered several items.
However, in a statement he personally signed on Friday, Fani-Kayode, a lawyer, alleged that "Mamu and Gumi are associates of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri Adamawa and presidential candidate of the opposition PDP".
According to him, Atiku Abubakar, Ahmad Gumi and Tukur Mamu "are close NOT just because they took a picture but because they've traveled across the country together on private jets on multiple occasions.
The statement reads in part: "I say they are close to Atiku Abubakar because they supported him and campaigned for him in the 2019 presidential election and they support him and do again lobbying and campaigning for him for the 2023 presidential election.
"I say they are close to Atiku Abubakar because they are die-hard supporters and supporters of the PDP, they have spent a lot of time with him in recent years and they are in regular contact with him .
“I say they are close to Atiku Abubakar because they are among those who insisted that he run for president again in 2023, win the PDP presidential ticket and stay in power in the North even if the party had zoned the position to the south and even if it has a national president from the north.
“I say they are close to Atiku Abubakar because they have a pathological hatred and are in fierce opposition to President Muhammadu Buhari, the APC and the federal government and they are determined to ensure that 'they are driven from power.
“There is no doubt that their relationship is deep and deep and it requires careful consideration and clinical investigation by security and intelligence agencies.”
