“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.”
Al-Mustapha further noted that he hadn’t talked with any candidate to step down his ambition, nor did he intend to step down his presidential bid.
He urged Nigerians to disregard such rumours and not be allowed to be swayed by such fake news.
