Alawuje said the book titled ‘The Atiku: The Story of Atiku Abubakar,’ written by Onukaba Adinoyi-Ojo, Atiku’s former spokesman never mentioned that the former Vice President was known as Sadiq Abubakar at any point in his life.”

He noted that the book revealed that Atiku back in primary school was known as ‘Atiku Kojoli,’

The leader of the prominent support group for President Bola Tinubu, asked “Why didn’t he mention that Atiku’s name was Sadiq Abubakar during his secondary school years?”

Alawuje argued that the PDP candidate was known as Atiku Kojoli during his primary education at Jada Primary School and only substituted Kojoli with Abubakar to read ATIKU ABUBAKAR after gaining admission at Adamawa Provincial Secondary School in Yola.

“At what point did the new name “Atiku Abubakar” change to “Sidiq Abubakar” which is the name written on the WAEC certificate presented to INEC and when did “Sidiq Abubakar” change back to Atiku Abubakar, which is now his current and official name?
