The media office of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied reports that he promised to prioritise the interests of the Yoruba ethnic group if elected as the president in 2027.
On Wednesday, several reports attributed the claim to a statement purportedly issued on Atiku’s behalf.
However, Paul Ibe, media adviser to the former presidential candidate, in a statement on Thursday, said the former vice president never engaged Johnson in any capacity, describing the report as false and misleading.
