Last Sunday the independent national electoral commission, INEC declared campaign open for candidates contesting in 2019 general election; as politicians device means of convincing electorates for votes, sometimes lies are been told which in turn generate a lot of false reports. The fact check team at Nigeriadefender.com will be monitoring the words of politicians to separate truth from lies.

Nigeria Defender recently spotted a false claim by the candidate of the people’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar when he allegedly said he grew up as an orphan in a bid to relate well with the poor masses.

Did Atiku actually say he grew up as orphan?

Various sources reported that the former vice president said he grew up as an orphan selling firewood, according to Pulse.ng, Presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, highlighted his rags-to-riches story as he unveiled his plan to fix Nigeria if elected.

“I started out as an orphan selling firewood on the streets of Jada in Adamawa, but God, through the Nigerian state, invested in me and here I am today”, Atiku said in a 9-minute broadcast that was streamed live on Facebook.

“If Nigeria worked for me, I owe it as my duty to make sure that Nigeria also works for you,” he said.
The report was also published by thecable.ng as well as other top media houses.

Did Atiku really grow up as orphan?


According to Wikipedia, “Atiku Abubakar was born on November 25, 1946 to a Fulani trader and farmer Garba Abubakar, and his second wife, Aisha Kande, in Jada village of Adamawa State. Atiku Abubakar became the only child of his parents when his only sister died at infancy. Atiku’s father and mother divorced before his father died in 1957 and his mother remarried. Eventually, his mother died in 1984 of heart attack”.

This was also mentioned in his 2013 book titled “MY LIFE”, page 30 of the book confirmed his mother died in 1984. Atiku is about 72yrs now, this means that he was already 38yrs old when his mother passed away.

Why does it matter?

Does it really matter if Atiku grew up as orphan? Ordinarily it doesn’t matter, but it matters now because he falsely claimed it to be so. Fake news begins with a single lie and if not nipped in the bud it metamorphoses into widespread misinformation and that is why our fact check team at Nigeriadefender.com is waging a war against fake news.

And so?

He was an orphan

Terrible liar
His so called plan that took him 18 months to publish is full of lies. .
How can he increase our 7k mega watts to 25k mega watts under 4 years.
They spent 16bilion USD but added less than 1k mw.
Obasanjo said it in his book that there are lies about his existence.

To me Atiku is a terrible option to Buhari..
Buhari - Lifeless
Atiku - criminal

No need to tell us, we know. The definition of politics is lie lier lieres. If you can't lie then nothing for you. Jonathan came with 'I had no shoes.

Nigerian politicians and lies......is like Nigerian pastors and tithes collection

Buhari lied about his cows, integrity and financial status.


Who I am siding? No one. Politicians tell these lies to sway public sentiments to them.

Some people won't see anything wrong with that

Not new..... anybody that believe Atiku does so at his own peril

Atiku is a serial liar. I remember when Atiku was contesting in the primaries in 2011in PDPagainst Jonathan then. He was mocking Jonathan for growing up without shoes; claiming that he had a better background. But now he has suddenly change to growing up as an orphan selling fire wood just to caught the sympathy of the unsuspecting masses ...Atiku you too dey lie

A child deprived by death or abandoned by one or both parents is an orphan, so Atiku is an orphan.

Can't be as fraudulent as lying about waec certificate

And yet alot of pple want him anyways what do I know no one knows the truth expect if you are in their circle imagine oshiomole going to Johnathan's book lanuch and yet they insult each other on the front page of every news paper.
Las las we go gather sell nigeria to the highest bidder

Your excellency over to you sir.

There are many in. Nigeria today with both parents alive but orphans
His mum was alive but was thrown out of their family home. It was atiku that built a house for his mum, at a very tender age of 12 or so
Is that not the life of an orphan?

He started as an orphan not an orphan.... As an orphan means without parental support

abc115:
Atiku is a fraud

Every single interview he has ever granted regarding his young life he has never mentioned hawking firewood at a young age.

Even his own autobiography titled MY LIFE released in 2013 somehow missed out something so important.

Fast forward to 2018 he suddenly now includes a false narrative that he hawked firewood at a young age as an orphan.

Thunder fire Atiku for all these his lies.

Some damning information on Atiku

Please next old news, Father and mother dead, what do you call such person, or are you the step father ? Did you marry the mother after the father died.

You are posting concessions of the ports, intels where Atiku with minimal interest and Tinubu with a larger interest has just five compared to others, have checked out the owners of the other companies.

This isn't a fake news from Atiku pls. Itz DISHONESTY!

SarkinYarki:
Atiku has never said he never grew up with a mother rather he has always said in many for how he was raised by his mother and how he built a house for her ... Atikus dad died very early and he was raised by his mother ..why will he say that when he has a picture of he and his mum in his living room in Abuja ...nonsense zombie propaganda and we all know how it got to front page

So he doesnt know the meaning of orphan despite being a graduate. what is the point then?

PDP story spinner. The story says his mother died in 1984 and as at 1984 he was already a customs officer in Lagos while Atiku lied that HE STARTED as an orphan HAWKING FIREWOOD IN JADA his hometown.

Oya spin that one.

OkaNaUbe:

We know, we dont care

Because you have been paid. You sacrifice your entire generation for what? 30k/month? Black man.

Buharists are dull people they don't research so they cannot know that somebody with only one parent is termed a single orphan;



An orphan can be further classified by using definitions such as UNICEF’s  “single orphans,” which is a child with only one parent has died, or “double orphans,” which is a child with both parents having passed away.  In practice, though, we tend to think of children living in orphanages as orphans, although it is possible that both of their parents are alive but not caring for their child.
