Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has dismissed the 10 million votes reportedly secured by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress during the recent exercise, describing the figures as “fabricated numbers” and not a threat to the ADC.

Atiku made the remarks after casting his vote during the ADC presidential primaries held at Hajiya Ward in Jimeta, Yola.

Speaking with journalists shortly after voting, Atiku said the ADC remains confident and prepared to take over leadership of the country despite the figures announced by the APC.

According to him, the reported 10 million votes are “mere numbers” that do not reflect the true political reality, insisting that the ADC is focused on building a strong platform capable of winning future elections.

The former vice president also addressed concerns over internal disagreements within the party, noting that crises are common in every political organisation and would not weaken the ADC.

He stated that the party remains united, determined, and fully ready for victory at the polls.

Atiku further called on Nigerians to ensure their votes count during elections by participating actively in the democratic process.
