Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has alleged that the nearly 11 million votes secured by President Bola Tinubu in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary were fabricated, insisting that the figures do not reflect genuine electoral participation.
Atiku made the remarks shortly after casting his vote at the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primary in his Ajiya Ward, Yola, Adamawa State.
The former Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate said the figures announced by the APC would not intimidate the ADC ahead of the 2027 general elections, expressing confidence that the opposition party would defeat the ruling APC by a wide margin.
“The numbers being announced are not a threat to us in the ADC,” Atiku said. “The votes allegedly secured by Tinubu were written and fabricated. They do not represent reality.”
