ABUJA : Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has dismissed allegations by a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Mr. Babachir Lawal, over the conduct of the African Democratic Congress ADC presidential primary, describing them as a cocktail of bitterness, conjecture, and political revisionism dressed up as public interest.

Atiku’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, in a statement on Tuesday, said Nigerians who watched Mr. Lawal’s recent television interview were confronted with a curious spectacle: “a man armed with outrage but bereft of evidence; rich in allegations but poor in facts.”

Shaibu declared the response as Atiku’s final word on the matter.
