PDP
Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has retracted his earlier claim
that he spoke to the widow of Lt. Col Ibrahim Sakaba, killed by Boko
Haram at Metele, Borno state last month. Recall that the late Sakaba's
wife, Seun, earlier today went on her IG page to deny Atiku's claim that
he spoke to her. Read here. In a statement released this afternoon,
Atiku says he spoke with Sakaba's sister, Maryam and not Seun. Read his
statement below”Following the death of Lt. Col Ibrahim Sakaba during the
Boko Haram insurgents’ attack on 157 Taskforce Battalion in Metele, His
Excellency Atiku Abubakar’s staff has made efforts to get the contact
of his widow to enable the former Vice President express his condolences
over the loss of the fallen hero.”Over the weekend, Atiku Abubakar was
availed with phone numbers of Mrs. Sakaba and Maryam, younger sister of
the late soldier, in the alternative.”On Sunday, the former Vice
President tried albeit unsuccessfully to contact Mrs. Sakaba but was
able to eventually speak with Maryam, younger sister of the gallant
soldier during which he expressed his deepest condolences to the
family.”However, this communication was erroneously communicated. The
error is regretted.”Atiku Abubakar, however reaffirms his deepest
condolences to the Sakaba family, which sacrifices, like those of their
brave son, keeps us safe.
