Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, has reacted to the claim by the ruling All Progressives Congress that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is not a Nigerian.<\/p>\n

The APC had yesterday filed a motion at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The Party, in the petition filed by its lead counsel, Lateef Fagbemi faulted the candidacy of Atiku in the election, claiming that Atiku is a Cameroonian and not a Nigerian citizen.<\/p>\n

APC, hence stated that the former Vice President petition against President Muhammadu Buhari, its own candidate, should be dismissed for lacking in merit.<\/p>\n
