Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar has dissociated himself from a purported photograph of him canvassing for votes for Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Adamawa State.

In a press statement signed by his media office on Friday, Atiku said that the circulation of the photograph was fraudulent, “I did not and will never call for support for any candidate of the PDP,” he said. 

“The photograph that is being circulated is the Photoshop copy of my photograph that called for votes for the Osun State governor in the 2014 gubernatorial election in that state,” he added.

He stressed that the imperative of voting for APC in the next line of elections in the country on April 11 is a virtue that he is firmly committed to, and to which he urges all Nigerians to give their unwavering support.
