The People’s Democratic Party (PDP)’s Presidential Candidate at the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar, says he changed his name from Siddiq Abubakar legally.
In a statement released yesterday in Abuja, the former Vice President’s media aide, Mr. Paul Ibe, said contrary to Bola A. Tinubu’s forgery allegation against Atiku, it is on record that the change of name of the former Vice President reverting to Atiku Abubakar from Siddiq Abubakar is well documented in an affidavit dated 18th of August 1973, a period spanning over 50 years.

Mr. Ibe also said all the names that Atiku Abubakar bears are names that are traceable to his family tree.
While accusing the All Progressives Congress of attempting to minimise the allegations of forgeries against the President, Mr. Ibe added that the PDP Presidential Candidate in the 2023 Elections adopted Atiku Abubakar as his official name while in the employ of the Nigeria Customs Service.
