Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization distance self from Online Grant Disbursement Scheme

The Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCO) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, ATIKU ABUBAKAR has distance itself from the supposed plans to disburse grants to unsuspecting Nigerians.

The organization in a statement said that its attention have been drawn to claims that the organization have embarked on an on-going scheme that is meant to disburse grants to Nigerians.

According to the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization;

‘’Information available to us reveal that the scheme Code-named ‘Atiku Grant Disbursement Programme’ (see link bit.ly/2NP4vup) is asking unsuspecting members of the public to contribute a certain amount of money which will be multiplied for them after they have downloaded a particular social media application’’.

APCO disclaims this scheme and any other in such manner.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization is not in any way involved in the scheme or any other in such manner and neither did it give a proxy authorization.”

The organization admonished Nigerians to disregard such false publication, stating that the communication has nothing to do with it.

It said the official/verified social media handles of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party are www.atiku.org (Blog); www.facebook.com/atiku.org (Facebook); www.twitter.com/atiku (Twitter); and www.instagram.com/aatiku (Instagram).

It also advised them to refrain from participating in any online scheme that aimed at defrauding innocent Nigerians and with the ulterior motive to embarrass the presidential campaign of Atiku Abubakar.
