'Forged and lied about every aspect' - Atiku slams Tinubu for 'forgery'

The flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Tinubu of lying about every part of his life.

According to Atiku, Tinubu lied about his name, heritage, educational qualifications and work experience, and is a serial forger.

He made this known in a statement released by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, on Sunday, October 15.

The statement read: “The world has come to the inevitable conclusion that Bola A. Tinubu is a confirmed forger-in-chief on account of his serial forgeries and lies in the last 50 years.

“Bola A. Tinubu has forged and lied about every aspect of his life: his heritage, his name and date of birth, his education and certificates, and work experience.

“The discovery of Tinubu’s records at the Chicago State University and the court-ordered deposition in the United States is only the tip of the iceberg that has been the litany of his forgeries and lies. Don't drag me into your forgery According to TheCable, Atiku called on Tinubu to refrain from comparing himself to him. The former vice president said his change of name is well documented in an affidavit from 1973."

Atiku said his change of name is as old as “the commencement of Tinubu’s life of forgeries and lies”

“The attempt by Bola A. Tinubu to drag Atiku Abubakar into his drowning arena of forgery must be seen for what it is: an attempt to minimise the allegations of forgeries that he has to contend with.

“Contrary to Bola A. Tinubu’s forgery shopping allegation against Atiku, it is on record that the change of name of the former Vice President reverting to Atiku Abubakar from Siddiq Abubakar is well documented in an affidavit dated 18th of August 1973, spanning over a period of 50 years, (which incidentally is as old as the commencement of Tinubu’s life of forgeries and lies), is in the public domain."
