A media aide to former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe, has accused the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, of leaking Atiku's resignation letter from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
This came after Keyamo knocked Atiku for releasing such a letter when the nation was in a period of mourning.
However, reacting, Ibe said people like Keyamo, alongside some people in the PDP, working with the All Progressives Congress, APC, do not wish the former Vice President well.
Speaking on Arise News, Ibe said, "People who never wished his Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar well leaked his communication about quitting the PDP. Oh yes! It was leaked.
"It is unfortunate that the minister of aviation, who rather should be concerned with aviation matters and there are plenty of them, runways and better infrastructures, would jump into the case like knowing what caused an accident even before the investigation.
"Actually they're the ones. Gross elements in the PDP, working in cahoots with the APC, leaked the communication and that's why we're having this conversation. That's why I said I would rather we're talking about something else and not this."
