“The former Vice President of Nigeria and PDP Presidential Candidate in the February 25, 2023, Election, H.E. Atiku Abubakar is currently at the Hilltop Mansion, Gbaduma Hill, Asokoro, Abuja, home of the Media Mogul, High Chief Engr Raymond A. A. Dokpesi, who passed on Monday, May 29, 2023,” he wrote.
