Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
The U.S embassy has distanced itself from a tweet attributed to the U.S. Secretary of State, Michael Pompeo, to the effect that he reportedly gave negative comment about the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
The Embassy, in its twitter account @USEmbassyAbuja, accessed on Thursday in Abuja, said such statement should be regarded as fake news.
The tweet, which the embassy classified as fake news read: “I personally refused to meet him or have anything to do with him (Atiku).
“I am really surprised that an individual indicted by the United States of America of huge corruption is being considered for Nigerian president…U.S. Secretary of State, Michael R. Pompeo”
The embassy said such statement in either facebook or received via WhatsApp should be regarded as fake.
