Atiku vindicated.

34webers:


Meanwhile, these ones are already sweating hard defending their saviour.
One said Atiku's aide did while the other said the woman never denied receiving call from atiku.
Things like these can happen only when one is on a payroll.

So tell me, what is the error of communication in the statement above?

Unnecessary controversy like this is what you get when you politicize everything to score cheap political points. If he had made the call with good intention and not for publicity sake, he wouldn’t have posted it on tweeter and wouldn’t be getting this backlash that shows he’s a desperate politician. Hopefully, he would learn from this and stop jumping to make political reactions to almost every news item.

@Naija Politico

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, has retracted his earlier story of speaking with the widow of Lt. Col Ibrahim Sakaba, killed by Boko Haram at Metele last month.

He now said he spoke with the slain soldier’s sister, Maryam.

Naija Politico learnt that the PDP candidate had opened himself to widespread derision following his online post that he spoke with Seun, Sawaba’s wife.

But the woman denied she received a phone call from Abubakar and wondered why the 72 year-old politician lied.

Abubakar has now set the record straight and apologized for the “erroneous communication”.

Here is Atiku Abubakar’s statement:

Following the death of Lt. Col Ibrahim Sakaba during the Boko Haram insurgents’ attack on 157 Taskforce Battalion in Metele, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar’s staff has made efforts to get the contact of his widow to enable the former Vice President express his condolences over the loss of the fallen hero.

Over the weekend, Atiku Abubakar was availed with phone numbers of Mrs. Sakaba and Maryam, younger sister of the late soldier, in the alternative.

On Sunday, the former Vice President tried albeit unsuccessfully to contact Mrs. Sakaba but was able to eventually speak with Maryam, younger sister of the gallant soldier during which he expressed his deepest condolences to the family.

However, this communication was erroneously communicated. The error is regretted.

Atiku Abubakar, however reaffirms his deepest condolences to the Sakaba family, which sacrifices, like those of their brave son, keeps us safe.

The thief even released the video of himself calling the widow
Damn this man is a big fraud

seguno2:


What can be worse than Buhari defending thieves like Abacha, Babachir, Buratai etc?
Did he not even reinstate and promote Maina the pensions thief?
Please let us know what can be worse than the rogue in Aso Rock

Always trust Igbos to come up with irrelevant, ridiculous and absurd ignorant and unintelligent rubbish to defend their crooked oga with...

Anti Nigerian losers..

Yankee101:
He spoke to his sister thinking it was his wife.

Have you ever heard APC admit to such?

It takes a bigger man to admit a mistake

Behind any PDP lie and mischief is Reno Omokri.

Basher8583:

Thats who you want to be president of Nigeria.
