Media adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe, has insisted that the presidential primary election of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, which produced Atiku as the winner, was free, fair and credible.

Ibe said, unlike the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, which allegedly manufactured figures during its primary elections, ADC slowed down the election process and gave its election petitions committee the opportunity to investigate allegations of corruption after they emerged.

Speaking on Prime Time, an Arise TV programme, Thursday, he also urged Nigerians to decide whether they would choose another four years of pain and tears in 2027 or choose Atiku instead.
