The Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has dismissed the Presidency’s claim that he remained silent following the rescue of the abducted Oyo State schoolchildren and teachers.
He described the allegation as a reckless distortion of facts that collapses under the weight of documentary evidence.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said there were only two possible explanations for the Presidency’s outburst.
“In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said there are only two possible explanations for the Presidency’s latest outburst: either its media handlers were too lazy to acquaint themselves with publicly available facts before rushing to attack the opposition, or they were too embarrassed by the substance of his statement to acknowledge its existence,” the statement read.
The statement quoted Atiku as saying, “It is astonishing that a Presidency with limitless public resources could accuse someone of silence without carrying out the most basic verification.
