Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the claim of the APC that he is a Cameroonian and not qualified to contest in the 2019 Presidential Election.
The former Vice President said the claim was ridiculous adding that “those who have made Nigeria the world headquarters for extreme poverty are the very people whose Nigerianness should be in doubt, and not a man, who worked with President Olusegun Obasanjo to double the per capita income of our nation in less than eight years”.
Abubakar insisted that he has verifiable evidence to show that the last Presidential elections “were fraudulent, not credible and did not reflect the will of the Nigerian people”.
The former Vice President said the APC questioning his Nigerian citizenship was “pedestrian and shows such straw-clutching desperation on their part, that I shall not dignify it with an answer”.
“Our lawyers would, of course, do the needful in court. But the point I want to draw the attention of Nigerians to is that both the APC and its candidate have by this infantile logic admitted to the fact that they trampled on the will of Nigerians and that their only defence is to attempt an unconstitutional redefinition of the term ‘Nigerian’.”
