Alleged Mambilla $500,000 bribe: ‘Diverter-in-Chief’ — Presidency brands Atiku

The Presidency branded Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, as ‘Diverter-in-Chief’ for dodging journalists’ questions about an alleged $500,000 bribe related to the Mambilla project. It claimed Atiku received the bribe from Sunrise Power and its CEO, Leno Adesanya, to approve a contract without authorization. Furthermore, funds were reportedly transferred to Atiku's ex-wife Jennifer Douglas's Citibank account, raising red flags during a U.S. Senate investigation into corruption and money laundering.
