Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in a statement has dismissed as "sponsored stories," reports by a section of the media to the effect that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had zoned him out of the presidential contest following a new arrangement.
"As for the presidential ticket, the position of all organs of the party is that it is open to all Nigerians irrespective of where they come from," Atiku said.
The statement described as "a hatchet job for Aso Rock" a front page lead story in today's edition of a newspaper titled "Atiku Zoned Out" wondering why the presidency is scared of the prospect of President Goodluck Jonathan facing Atiku in 2015.
"Atiku's chances have never been better, given the climate of democracy and freedom in the APC" said the media office, which also disclosed that the former Vice President will at any moment from now be making a pronouncement on if, when and how he will be making a declaration.
It also conveyed Atiku's appeal to all his well-wishers, supporters and the general public to disregard these false reports emanating from the presidency, Daily Times reported.
