The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has denied ever tagging President Bola Tinubu as a corrupt public official.
Ribadu in a letter through his lawyers, also denied ever accusing Senator George Akume and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu of stealing from the public treasury.
The NSA made the clarification while responding to an allegation that while he was the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), he labelled the three politicians as governors in Nigeria who stole most from the public treasury.
Ribadu made the denial in response to a TikTok video by the leader of Northern Star, Hajia Naja’atu Muhammad, who accused the NSA of going back to his vomit by serving in Tinubu’s presidency after initially accusing him of corruption when he was EFCC chairman.
He maintained that he had never privately or publicly accused the three leaders of corruption. Ribadu, in the letter signed by his lawyer, Ahmed Raji (SAN), demanded a public apology and retraction within seven days from Muhammad or risk further legal action.
