Former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar, has threaten to sue the media house that attributed an article on IPOB,
Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra agitation to him.
This follows an official rebuttal
by his media office.
His camp said: “What started as
the handiwork of mischief makers and their sponsors bent on tarnishing the
reputation of the Waziri Adamawa was first noticed on chat rooms.
“But having found its way on the
website of a reputable newspaper which obviously fell victim to the evil work
of the scammers, the media office of the former Vice President is compelled to
respond and to state as follows:
“That the article in circulation
is unknown to Atiku Abubakar or Atiku Media Office;
“That His Excellency Atiku
Abubakar never signed any opinion article with that title in circulation;
“That this is the handiwork of
evil people and their cowardly sponsors aimed at soiling the reputation of
Atiku Abubakar and his political standing;
“That this signposts a wicked and
deliberate plot to unleash media attack on Atiku Abubakar with a view to
portraying him in bad light;
“That this is classical Fake
News”.
To further express his anger,
Atiku in a Facebook posts hinted his readiness to sue.
He said his lawyers have been
directed to drag the media organization to court.
Atiku wrote: “A false story
published by Vanguard newspaper has been brought to my notice. In the story,
the paper quoted false comments about the Biafra crisis and attributed it to
me.
“I have already instructed my
lawyers to write to the news organization. It’s time, #FakeNews is decisively
dealt with.”

ReplyDeleteAlh. Atiku has always been a pan Nigerian who has no ethnic or regional coloration in him. He deserve to Be the President of Nigeria. but Those who don't want this country to move forward want to spoil his reputation. It is better Nigerian and in particular the supporters of Atiku for President to fight for a better Nigeria
