Former senator from Kogi West, Dino Melaye, responded on Monday to rumors that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate is retiring from politics.
Melaye disputed the assertion that Atiku was quitting politics and allying with Bola Tinubu, the president-elect.
He called the allegations a falsehood from the depths of hell that should not be believed.
The Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign’s spokesman promised in a tweet that the PDP front-runner will soon reclaim his mandate.
He wrote: “The malicious lie and propaganda going round that Atiku is retiring from politics and joining hand with Tinubu is a terrible lie from the pit of hell and should be disregarded. Light and darkness don’t relate. Nigerians should be rest assured that Atiku is coming very soon.”
Atiku came second in the just-concluded presidential election held on February 25.
He, however, claimed that the election was flawed and rigged in favour of Tinubu.
The PDP presidential candidate has since headed to court to retain his alleged stolen mandate.
