Atiku Abubakar Sponsored Tinubu’s First Trip to Saudi Arabia: Phrank Shaibu

Atiku Abubakar's media aide, Phrank Shaibu, has claimed that the former Vice President sponsored President Tinubu's first-ever trip to Saudi Arabia.

Atiku Abubakar’s media aide, Phrank Shaibu, has made a surprising claim that the former Vice President sponsored President Bola Tinubu’s first-ever trip to Saudi Arabia. Shaibu made this statement during an appearance on Politics Today, where he highlighted Atiku’s generosity and alleged relationship with Tinubu. According to Shaibu, “The […] ‘Atiku sponsored Tinubu’s first trip to Saudi Arabia’ – Phrank Shaibu, who emphasized that this claim could be disputed by Tinubu if it was untrue. Daily Post Nigeria reported this development on November 2, 2026, but neither the Atiku nor Tinubu camps have confirmed or denied the allegation.

This claim, if true, could shed light on the long-standing relationship between the two political heavyweights, particularly in the context of their rivalry for the presidency. However, it’s essential to note that this allegation has not been independently verified by multiple sources.
