My Parents Are from Sokoto, Jigawa, Atiku Replies Buhari - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 23 elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has debunked the notion that he was Cameroonian by birth and thus not qualified to contest the presidential election.
“The parents of the 1st petitioner are both Fulani, a community/tribe indigenous to Nigeria,” his lawyers said. “The 1st petitioner’s mother, Aisha Kande was the grand-daughter of Inuwa Dutse, who came to Jada as an itinerant trader too from Dutse in present day Jigawa State. Atiku said that the votes he secured in the presidential election were not wasted votes, and still claimed that he got more votes than President Buhari.
He also mentioned his participation in the 1999 governorship election in Adamawa State in 1999, which he won and the presidential elections of 1999 and 2003, which he won as running mate to former President Olusegun Obasanjo. “In 2014, the 1st Petitioner and the 2nd respondent contested the presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress , the 3rd respondent for the 2015 presidential elections.”
