Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate has decried what it edscribed as a smear campaign against him by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu’ s administration. He said some faceless persons were being commissioned to issue statements on the his behalf, describing the act as the handiwork of the Presidency.
Abubakar made the allegation in a statement signed on Thursday by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe,saying the “faceless mercenaries’ are being sponsored by the administration to fabricate false stories against him.
“We have observed with concern a certain self-styled ‘media consultant,’ one Kola Johnson, issuing press releases in the name of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Ibe said, “Our findings point directly to the Presidency, which in its desperation to smear opposition leaders, has resorted to hiring faceless mercenaries to fabricate fake stories and circulate unauthorized statements on Atiku.
“Atiku Abubakar has never engaged one Kola Johnson as a media consultant, aide, or associate. Any statement issued in that name is fake and should be disregarded. We urge media houses that have published such falsehoods to immediately retract them.”
