Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, has been invited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in relation to a petition he filed calling for an investigation into Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party's presidential candidate. (PDP).

In a petition sent to the commission ahead of the election on February 25, Keyamo accused Atiku of misusing public money while serving as vice president of Nigeria.

Keyamo granted the CCB 72 hours to "arrest, invite, interrogate, and prosecute" Atiku for the alleged offenses in his petition.

The CCB asked Keyamo to adopt his petition at the bureau's Abuja office in a letter dated March 28.

The purpose of this invitation is to give you the opportunity to adopt the aforementioned petition and to provide any additional information that might be relevant to this inquiry. To help with inquiries about the attachments to your appeal, you are asked to accompany Michael Achimugu.

Additionally, Keyamo has filed a lawsuit against the former vice president with the federal high court in Abuja. In the lawsuit with the file number FHC/ABJ/CS/84/2023, Keyamo is attempting to coerce law enforcement to charge Atiku with the same offenses.

Keyamo requested a court order requiring Atiku to "submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Conduct of Conduct Bureau (CCB) for thorough investigation" in the lawsuit.
