Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) has eventually opened up on the report making the rounds that he had employed the services of a United States lobbyist firm to halt the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Atiku in his reaction said; “The All Progressives Congress administration has resorted to diversionary allegations since I resisted the pressure mounted on me not to contest the outcome of the last presidential election at the tribunal.”

“The APC leaders are behaving nervously like thieves living under the fear of being exposed and shamed. They are now using fake news against me instead of focusing on defending themselves in the court. For a party that has broken the worst record in election rigging, the APC doesn’t have any iota of integrity to be taken seriously by anybody.”

“Atiku’s court case has become their biggest burden because it exposes their integrity as a sham, and instead of defending their stolen mandate in court, they are now using fake news to divert public attention from the historic electoral heist they have committed against Nigerians.”

“No amount of propaganda and fake news by the APC will stop me from pursuing my case in court to a logical conclusion.”
