According to Daily Trust, Ibe made the claim while addressing the speculations surrounding the wealth of the former vice president.

The former vice president's aide maintained that there is nothing wrong about being wealthy and that Atiku's money was legitimate.

Ibe also noted the reason why the former vice president had yet to announce his interest in the 2027 presidential race, explaining that the current focus of Atiku was to strengthen his political base within the newly adopted African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.

He said that the former vice president will not fall for the bait, adding that the current effort is to put the political structure in place so that when the tsunami begins, the ADC will be ready to carry everyone along for alignment and realignment.
