Atiku Abubakar Denies Gifting Lt. Ahmed Yerima SUV Amid Wike’s Land Access Confrontation

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has refuted claims that he gifted Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima a brand new Toyota SUV.

The denial came on Thursday through his media adviser, Paul Ibe, who described the reports as false and urged the public to ignore them.

“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,” Ibe stated.

He emphasized that the story is entirely fabricated and should be disregarded by the public.

The rumours followed a viral video showing Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike in a heated argument with military personnel over access to land in Abuja’s Gaduwa district, where soldiers reportedly blocked FCTA officials from entering the property.
