Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar has said he stood by his comment that the President MuhammaduBuhari administration has sidelined him.
Atiku said this in a statement by the Head of the Atiku Media Office, Mazi Paul Ibe.
Ibe said, “His Excellency, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar stands by what he said. There is no point beating about the bush, how can anyone equate a private meeting with a meeting of party organs?
“When was the last time the party organs held any meeting? Has the Board of Trustees or what they call the Elders’ Council been inaugurated? When was the last time stakeholders and party leaders invited him to a meeting? The Wazirin Adamawa spoke as a lover of this country, democracy and the party.
Atiku had stated that the All Progressives Congress has sidelined him since the President came into the power.
This was after the minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan publicly drummed support for him as President in 2019.
