@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.

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

“I had cause to telephone Lt. Col. Ibrahim Sakaba’s widow this Yuletide. I am touched by her devotion and love for her husband who paid the supreme sacrifice for Nigeria.”

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.

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?

With that twitter handle,then Atikulooter is also a pathological liar.

To all Atikulators.

Esseite:
She is waiting for Atiku's call directly, did Buhari call you directly?
Was it just your husband that died?

Obviously Atikus aides did, its way better than the Nigerian army that carried big TV camera for condolence visit after she cried out.

Metuh:
Where in this trash did the woman deny it


Anything to make the 30k salary come faster.



Bullshit from Buhari media cows...Awon oponu aboda

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.

See someone celebrating his 26 years marriage anniversary and winning a match 2-6 as a coach on that same day...

Lie Mohammed and Atiku are the same
Always giving excuse when they are caught lying
