Atiku Abubakar Denies Vice-Presidential Ticket Negotiations Amidst Allegations

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar dismisses allegations made by former Ekiti State Governor Peter Ayodele Fayose as false and malicious. Atiku clarifies that there have been no negotiations over the vice-presidential ticket during his recent visit to former Head of State Ibrahim Babangida.

Fayose's claims of an agreement with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to run as vice president and provide a 10 billion Naira contribution are vehemently denied by Atiku's senior special assistant, Phrank Shaibu. Atiku's team emphasizes that there have been no discussions of financial contributions, zoning manipulations, or clandestine meetings in Dubai.

The statement aims to debunk what they describe as fabrications and gossip aimed at tarnishing Atiku's political reputation. Atiku's camp stresses his commitment to principled engagement in national issues and urges the public to disregard the misinformation being spread.
