Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has said that he used the name Sadiq Abubakar to sit for his West African Examination Council (WAEC) but subsequently changed to the present one he bears.
The clarification came after members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) raised questions over the name following Atiku’s determination to prove a case of certificate forgery against President Bola Tinubu.
Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign, Dele Momodu, disclosed this on his X handle @DeleMomodu on Tuesday on behalf of the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election.
He posted, “The APC busybodies have been bombarding me with allegations of forgery against my Principal, ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR (GCON), which I immediately forwarded to him and here is his copious response: “Yes I used Sadiq Abubakar to sit for my WAEC and after passing my exams I went to swear an affidavit to say I am the same person as ATIKU Abubakar.
I went to ABU as Atiku Abubakar and passed my Exams as Atiku Abubakar. Interviewed as Atiku Abubakar by the Federal Civil Service Commission and hired into the Customs Service as Atiku Abubakar. So where is forgery there?” – ATIKU ABUBAKAR
“CAN THE APC social media bullies forward the deluge of questions in circulation to their boss and get an instant and direct response…
I SALUTE ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR…”
