What is nice in admitting to telling a lie? Below is what Atiku tweeted.



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.

ImperialYoruba:
Now, Atiku knows the difference between Seun and Maryam. He is married to Yoruba and Hausa and has exposure on that account. How could he go from Maryam to Seun? At 72 is Alhaji already a victim of dementia? ....or was he caught lying again?

maestroferddi:
You are trying to cover grievous shallowness with cheap criticisms...

Can you envisage a situation could have spoken with dead soldier"s sister-in-law who then hinted Atiku how devoted the couples were to each other?

APC supporters and critical thinking are two parallel lines...

rexwalters:
Does a King owe an ignorant Peasant any apology whatsoever?

NLandIsHypocrit:
Still lies! How can you ignore his wife for his sister? What business do you have with the sister? Do you see the reincarnated and refurbished saint being prepared to be Atikulated by zoogirian zombies? He's yet to become the President and he's already dishing out series of lies. Where Aba is looking like this, how then will Umuahia look like?

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

Bodude504:
Nigerians shine your eyes, atiku is a scam

IamPatriotic:
That's part of their Dubai strategy, like Atiku, like Obi... bunch of liars!

The Subcommittee contacted Siemens about this allegation and also reviewed the
Citibank account records. The Subcommittee identified Citibank records showing three wire
transfers from Siemens AG, in 2001 and 2002, that together provided over $1.7 million to
Ms. Douglas’ personal checking account at Citibank. This chart identifies those wire transfers.

That was a big negative your Excellency.Issue of this nature are sensitive.
