Atiku dismisses APC’s claim of procuring Russian hackers for 2019 election

- Atiku Abubakar said the APC in desperate ahead of 2019

- The PDP presidential candidate's campaign said the issue of procuring Russina hackers is false

- The campaign group said the APC government will soon be out of office

The Atiku Abubkar presidential campaign has dismissed accusation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the former vice president is procuring the services of Russian hackers to compromise 2019 election.

Vanguard reports that Prince Kassim Afegbua who is the campaign spokesperson of the Atiku campaign said the APC claim was a reflection of the party’s desperation.

He said: “The Buhari Media Organisation has grown to become a hackers den and propagandist conclave funded by illicit funds to rake up mud against the opposition.

“They are not just alarmist by orientation and conduct, they have become a monstrous organisation that feeds fat on lies, concocted stories, ridiculous tell-tales just to sustain their irrelevance and notoriety in the public space.

“The PDP doesn’t need the services of hackers because the 2019 election is a referendum of Nigerians against poverty, nepotism, cronyism, deprivations and impoverishment. It is a referendum on crass incompetence, manifest under-performance, and governmental malfunctioning.

“In such situation, only the APC, President Buhari and the BMO who are desperate to sustain this level of incompetence would be thinking of hiring hackers from any part of the world to rig election and manipulate the outcome. We are aware of dare-devil plans by the APC to import foreigners from neighbouring countries to serve as election observers and thugs, in a decoy to rig the elections. The bad news for them is that we are monitoring them closely inch for inch, meter for meter to ensure we are not taken unawares.

“Only professional riggers such as APC and BMO would know of hacking and technological manipulation but now that they have raised the point, we will set our antennae to do further monitoring of their devious acts. Following the lukewarm reception which the president received yesterday at the joint session of the National Assembly, it is crystal clear that this government is on its departure lounge of the Aso Villa.”

Meanwhile, Atiku declared that in order to enable businesses to grow in the south-east region and the country at large, President Buhari must be voted out of office.

The former vice president made the assertion on Wednesday, December 19, when he took his campaign for election to Aba, Abia state.

A former Director-General of the Nigeria Maritime Agency, Buba Galadima, has accused the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria of witch-hunt after the agency took possession of his business and assets on Tuesday in Abuja.
