I Am Still In APC _ Atiku Speaks

Miss Fatima Atiku-Abubakar, one of Atiku Abubakar’s daughters has said she has not followed the former Vice President to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Fatima, a medical doctor and Adamawa State commissioner for health said she is currently preoccupied with the duties of the state.

“I have not resigned and I am performing my duties as the representative of H.E the Governor on all health matters in the state,” Ms. Atiku-Abubakar said in a text message Wednesday morning.

Fatima Atiku-Abubakar, 45, is the first child of Mr. Abubakar. She was appointed commissioner in August 2015.

Her rebuttal comes a day after The Sun Newspaper reported that Ms. Atiku-Abubakar had stepped down from Governor Jibrilla Bindow’s cabinet with seven other commissioners.

The paper further reported that the officials resigned because of their loyalty to the former vice president.
