Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has refuted the
allegation that he was strategically working against the present
administration of Mohammadu Buhari in view of his alleged ambition to contest
the 2019 Presidential election.
Atiku disclosed this through his
Media Adviser, Paul Ibe who alleged that some people have desperately been
sponsoring propaganda to create disunity between his boss and the President
adding that Atiku has been totally in support of the efforts of the President
to tackle the enormous challenges inherited from the previous administrations.
In the statement, Atiku fervently
criticized his opponents who he said now resort to cheap blackmail to tarnish his
hard earned reputation for selfish motives. He equivocally stated that the progress
of the nation as well as the success of the present government have been his utmost
concern whether in Nigeria or abroad, and therefore, his trip abroad couldn’t
have been misconstrued as strategically a political plot adding he is presently
in Dubai on medical trip, and not for a political plot as being peddled in some
quarters.
“This is the work of
rumour-mongers planning to cause distrust and distraction in Buhari’s
government. They do not mean well for the APC administration. With the
challenges of providing good governance for the country and creating job
opportunities for Nigerians, including reducing the impact of poverty,
President Buhari needs all the goodwill and support in these endeavours.”
“This is yet another plot by the
enemies of our country and democracy to divide, divert attention and distract
the APC inn its avowed commitment to secure the country, provide jobs for the unemployed
youths, build the needed critical infrastructure, enthrone a regime of probity
and accountability and pull the country
out of the economic woods it has been consigned to by locust years of
mismanagement.
Whether at home or abroad, the Turaki
is preoccupied with his unassailable supports to President Buhari and his
administration, especially at this critical time, as he works assiduously to turn
the fortunes of our dear country around and make Nigeria work for the greater
good of all.
“Rumour-mongers are toxic to the
progress of the APC and the country at large. The campaigns are gone, and
therefore, all energies should be constructively devoted ton the success of the
Buhari administration,” the former Vice President said.
