Founder of Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF) and wife of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Hajiya Titi Amina Abubakar, has disowned a Facebook page credited to her and repudiated political comments made through it.
Hajiya Abubakar in a statement she personally signed on Sunday said she does not operate a social media account, and what was attributed to her on Facebook should be treated as fake news.
“In view of a certain communication as it relates to some political commentaries from me concerning political calculations in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the political ambitions of some individuals, I want to state that it is not only fake news; it is absolutely not my style to pass such commentaries and thus did not authorize the post.
“I wish to state categorically that I do not operate any social media account,” she said.
Mrs Abubakar said the Facebook page where the communication was posted does not belong to her, and that from investigation, she had been told that the page had been in existence for a while.
“The latest post on the page which portrays me making a controversial comment on politics within the PDP and political moves by an unnamed politician is malicious and put out to cause disaffection with some persons and embarrassment to my person,” she added.
She enjoined the public, especially members of the PDP, to disregard post and other posts from unverified and unreliable sources that can cause division within the party.
