The Presidential candidate of Action Alliance (AA), retired Maj. Hamza Al-Mustapha has denied reports that he stepped down or endorsed the presidential candidate of the PDP in the Saturday election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Al-Mustapha made this known when he appeared on a Human Rights Radio FM, Abuja program.
He described the statement credited to the factional chairman of AA, Mr. Kenneth Udeze, through whom he emerged as a candidate, “as a scam.”
“The announcement by someone (Udeze) that Action Alliance is supporting Atiku was a scam.
“Action Alliance has not endorsed anybody. I am still in the race and if I am going to lose, I will lose pretty well and if I am going to win, I will win pretty well,” he said.
Al-Mustapha, who is a factional presidential candidate of AA recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), said he had not discussed with anyone his withdrawal or adoption of any other candidate.
He urged Nigerians to disregard such comment.
