Gormer Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the Presidency of engaging in a high-level propaganda and disinformation campaign against him.
In a press release signed by Paul Ibe, the Atiku revealed that the Presidency has been hiring faceless mercenaries to fabricate fake stories and circulate unauthorized statements on Atiku.
He specifically pointed out a recent press release attributed to a self-styled “media consultant” named Kola Johnson, claiming that an Atiku administration would be dominated by a single ethnic group.
The former Vice President described this claim as “particularly offensive” and “part of a calculated propaganda project designed to ridicule him in the media.”
He has categorically denied engaging Kola Johnson as a media consultant, aide, or associate while urging media houses that have published the falsehoods to immediately retract them.
Atiku cautioned Nigerians, especially the media, to remain vigilant against the propaganda schemes of the Tinubu administration, which now include circulating fabricated statements through compromised journalists.
He advised editors and media gatekeepers to verify information with the Atiku Media Office before publication, emphasizing that authentic information from Atiku Abubakar is only released through their office, signed by Paul Ibe or the Special Assistant on Public Communications.
