The Atiku Media Office has said that attempts by the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress, APC, to drag former Vice President Atiku Abubakar into a forgery scandal is a calculated move to downplay the allegations against President Bola Tinubu.
Atiku’s Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, in a statement issued Sunday said Tinubu and his handlers should desist from making any further attempts to compare the President and Atiku.
He insisted that the all the names that Atiku bears are names that are traceable to his family tree.
Ibe noted: “Contrary to Bola A. Tinubu’s forgery shopping allegation against Atiku, it is on record that the change of name of the former Vice President reverting to Atiku Abubakar from Siddiq Abubakar is well documented in an affidavit dated 18th of August 1973, spanning over a period of 50 years, (which incidentally is as old as the commencement of Tinubu’s life of forgeries and lies), is in the public domain.”
He alleged that Tinubu has forged and lied about every aspect of his life, including his heritage, name and date of birth, as well as education, certificates, and work experience.
Ibe added that the exposure of Tinubu’s records at Chicago State University and the court ordered deposition in the United States is only a tip of the iceberg. He added: “The attempt by Bola Tinubu to drag Atiku Abubakar into his drowning arena of forgery must be seen for what it is: an attempt to minimise the allegations of forgeries that he has to contend with.”
