Atiku is a liar, he offered me Vice Presidential ticket in 2007 – Tinubu

Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress APC Bola Tinubu has accused his counterpart of the People’s Democratic party PDP, Atiku Abubakar of lying over his comment on a Muslim-Muslim ticket

Tinubu said Atiku asked him to be his running mate in 2007 but he refused. Atiku, who was the Action Congress, AC, presidential candidate in 2007, had said Tinubu wanted to be his running mate accusing him of being a lover of the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.

Reacting to this, Tinubu in a statement by his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman accused Atiku of being a pathological liar

He said;”Atiku may want to be president. However, all he has shown is that he is a pathological liar. Let me say openly that Atiku offered me the vice presidential ticket in 2007.

“Let me also say that my religion has not changed. When he offered the position to me, I was a Muslim and I believe he was aware of my religious faith at the time.

“Atiku’s calculations and deceit had nothing to do with religion or his sensitivity to it. His conduct has everything to do with what we discovered about his paucity of character and love of intrigue.”
