Seyi Tinubu is free to conduct any lawful enterprise. President responds Atiku

In response to former vice president Atiku Abubakar, the presidency stated that Seyi Tinubu is entitled to pursue lawful economic interests wherever in the globe.

This was said by the President in a statement released on Monday and signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy.In a statement, Atiku Abubakar criticized Hitech Construction Company Ltd. for being awarded the contract to build the coastal route between Lagos and Calabar.

He stated, “Is it not amusing that the former Vice President, a man who openly said he formed Intels Nigeria with an Italian businessman when he was serving in the Nigeria Customs Service, a clear breach of extant public service regulations, is now the one accusing someone else of conflict of interest?
