Atiku Denies Gifting SUV to Lt Yerima by Ukpaka(op): 1:18pm On Nov 13, 2025
PRESS RELEASE

His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, Vice President of Nigeria (1999-2007), did not gift Lt. Ahmed Yerima — or any other individual — a brand new Toyota SUV, contrary to the false reports currently circulating on social media.

The story is entirely fabricated and should be completely disregarded by the public.

Paul Ibe

No law will hold atiku even if it's true that he gave the young officer SUV
Re: Atiku Denies Gifting SUV to Lt Yerima by Richtaiwo(m): 1:42pm On Nov 13, 2025
Even if he actually gave the SUV, which law did he violate?

Though, that will still be of no consequence to his political ambition.

He probably would have violated the law of decency and commonsense, because that would have sent a signal to some people to be defiant or confrontational and they will be rewarded.

Decency and common sense? We are talking about a Nigerian politician here, remember?

Lere Horlayinka is on overdrive. He's now planting fake narratives everywhere.

Initially, he thought he could respond to everyone that doesn't agree with the unbecoming attitude of his boss but alas, the deluge of reactions against his boss drowned him.

Even his lappy Bois here are all clutching at weak straws.

Wike paid a media person to write that nonsense against Atiku in order to give his impasse with the military a political colouration.

I know Wike very well. Everything for him is political.
Re: Atiku Denies Gifting SUV to Lt Yerima by Truthissupreme: 7:24am On Nov 14, 2025
Wike should be man enough to fight his battles rather than using propaganda


This narrative of him been a victim is flawed, the one of fighting for government best interest is also flawed

Na him co ministers go even tell you he was on his own
Re: Atiku Denies Gifting SUV to Lt Yerima by hatchy: 8:18am On Nov 14, 2025
Hia!
This matter is getting longer than railway line, honestly.

Come to think of it, even if he did it, is it a crime?
Is there any law prohibiting Atiku or anyone to gift someone, or even Yerima for performing his duty as an officer of the Nigerian Army?

Afterall, the so called Minister of FCT Nyesom Wike has been building and gifting Judges houses everywhere.

Peter Obi is coming, give way!

Wike may not be the victim here but he is surely fighting for a better Nigeria where things are done the right way....

If we applaud the approach of this retired naval officer, then we will see more of the same in the future...

Where people without building approval will look for military men to guard their land and start developing it, with the mindset that nothing will happen...

That is not the way forward...

That Retired Naval Officer simply should have approached Wike's office and his matter would be sorted out...

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo (A retired general) whose son is also currently a general in the military should have done the same thing...

But he simply called Wike and his matter was handled....

If we allow this kind of Impunity to continue, Nigeria will never make it

Only a very corrupt person would even be accused of such.


The truth is that soldier had been receivigifts left right and center. Nigerians live on social media. Next week another wave of news will hover over this until all that's left are memes

Atiku believes in ranching, deserves our votes – Ortom

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a sincere advocate of ranching as solution to the lingering herders crisis in the country.

The Governor who spoke Thursday at his reelection campaign rally in Katsina/Ala also stated that the former Vice President was not a religious fundamentalist.

He reiterated his appeal to the electorate in the state to vote massively for Atiku who was on the same page with the people of the state and all PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.

He observed that while President Muhammadu Buhari was canvassing for the opening up of cattle routes which would impact negatively on the land of the people of the state if implemented, Alhaji Atiku had been establishing ranches for his cattle and even proceeded to build feed-mills.

He said, “ranching is critical to the survival of our state because it remains the best solution to the incessant crises between farmers and herders with monumental loss of human lives and property over the years hence we must vote against those who opposed it.

When they go put you hand for false accusations you go open mouth like pocket trumpet. You know Wike very well, as his father, friend or mate?

Please how can Atiku be more corrupt than the master planner of Lagos who increases tax burden on people without increasing the number of well paid workers to make government services and utilities like water available for everyone huh

Lanrelagboi:
Lagos has now crossed the 3 Trillion Naira annual budget mark. Crossed 2 Trillion in 2024.

Memory Lane: the first full-year Lagos State budget (Year 2000) in the 4th Republic was in the region of 40-something billion Naira. And it was described as “unprecedented” back then.

The ones looking for cows 🐄 as an excuse to exonerate criminals huh


Highways:
Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country




Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

How is the officer's action of benefit to atiku
Re: Atiku Denies Gifting SUV to Lt Yerima by stuffs2002: 8:30am On Nov 14, 2025
This is serous. Why would Atiku get involved in this issue.

Wike as minister was representing the President of Nigeria.
Lieutenant Yerima was very wrong and disrespected the president by disrespecting the FCT minister

Most people who are supporting the Naval personnel are IPOB/OBIDIENTS and are doing so out of hatred for Wike. IPOB/OBIDIENTS have hated Wike mostly for 3 reasons:-
1) Wike publicly declared he is not Igbo
2) Wike stopped the killings of Hausas in Oyigbo by IPOB elements
3) Wike refused to support Peter Obi in the last presidential elections

Well kudos for schooling him.

Nigerians are supporting LT. Yerima against Wike. If IPOB/Obidients also support na their own cup of tea be that.
