The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has summoned Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour and Productivity and spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, over a petition he filed requesting an investigation into Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate (PDP).
Prior to the February 25 election, Keyamo petitioned the commission, accusing Atiku of misappropriating public funds through special purpose vehicles while serving as Nigeria’s Vice-President.
Keyamo in his petition gave the CCB a 72-hour ultimatum to “arrest, invite, interrogate and prosecute” Atiku for the alleged offences.
In a letter dated March 28, the CCB invited Keyamo to the bureau’s office in Abuja to adopt his petition.
“This invitation is to enable you adopt the aforementioned petition and to provide any additional information that may be material to this investigation. You are requested to come along with one Michael Achimugu, to assist with enquiries regarding the attachments to your petition.”
