Atiku
Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 general elections,
has dissociated himself from controversial campaign posters flooding the
streets of Abuja.
The
posters which carry his face bore ‘Pukka’ a Hindi word which literally means
‘Genuine’.
The
posters emerged after reports allegedly say the former vice president enlisted
the assistance of two cerebral lawyers in Washington DC, United States of
America, to lobby the American government for recognition as the winner of the
last presidential election.
Reacting
to the posters, Atiku’s media aide Paul Ibe in a statement said:
“Our
attention has been drawn to posters of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar,
Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 election being
circulated in Abuja.
“We
disassociate the former Vice President of Nigeria from the said posters in
circulation.
“The
campaign season is over. The tainted electoral victory by the incumbent is being
challenged in court.
“We
refuse to be distracted, which is exactly the objective of our opponents but to
remain focused on diligently pursuing our election petition with a view to
retrieving the stolen mandate.”
