Atiku Debunks Spending $30,000 For US To Scuttle Buhari Inauguration

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has debunked allegations of spending the sum of $30, 000 to hire American  group  to halt the second term inauguration of President Muhmadu Buhari.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the candidate of the APC, President Buhari as winner of the February 23, election but the ex- Vice President is challenging the outcome of the election in court.

Atiku, however, described the allegation as a dirty propaganda, fabricated and aimed at blackmailing him, said it was handiwork of the Buhari Campaign Organisation.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Paul Ibe, on Wednesday said the $30,000 allegation was a “shameless lie” which came as a surprise to him.

It noted that “Lying has become a culture to the APC administration and therefore, we are not surprised by their latest diversionary allegations.

“Since Atiku resisted pressure not to go to court, the APC has been behaving like a cat on hot bricks because the outcome of the 2019 elections has exposed and shattered the facade of their dubious integrity.

“The APC are behaving nervously like a thief living under the fear of being exposed and shamed, and that they are now using fake news against Atiku 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,” he said.
