Former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar has cited
irregularities with the
campaign system as the
reason for his absence at
the All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential
campaign rallies.
Speaking in an interview with
BBC Hausa on Friday, March
20, Atiku said he had not
been invited to the campaign
rallies and that he would
attend he would not attend
the campaigns if not invited.
“There are minor
irregularities in connection
with the system being
followed by the campaign
team of General Buhari but
we are trying to correct it.
They need to check the
strategy they are adopting,”
he said.
While denying the reports
that he planned to return to
the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP), Atiku said he
had informed the director of
the Buhari Campaign
Organisation, Rotimi
Amaechi, that if he is not
invited to the rallies, he
would not attend.
Atiku lost the APC
presidential ticket to General
Muhammadu Buhari at the
party’s primary elections.
