National Vice Chairman, South South of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Emmanuel Ogidi, has insisted that only a court can indict its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar of corruption.
In an exclusive interview with The InfoTrust in Warri, Delta State, Ogidi said Atiku is a man who loves the masses and is ready to transform the nation. He expressed concern that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused him of corruption, asking, has he been found guilty in Nigeria or anywhere?
