The media office of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has publicly disowned Kola Johnson, stressing that he has no official role in Atiku’s political or media structure. In a statement released to the press, the office explained that Johnson is neither an aide nor a representative of Atiku, and therefore any statement credited to him should be disregarded by the public.

According to the office, Johnson’s name has been deliberately linked to Atiku in order to spread confusion and mislead Nigerians. The statement insisted that individuals like Johnson are often used by political opponents to create fake narratives that can damage reputations. It warned Nigerians to be vigilant and not fall for such false claims.

The Atiku Media Office further accused the Presidency of being behind the scheme, describing it as a coordinated attempt to weaken the former Vice President’s credibility ahead of future political engagements. It argued that this pattern of misinformation is part of a larger propaganda strategy meant to shift public attention away from pressing national issues.

Finally, the media office called on Nigerians and the media to always verify information before sharing it, especially when it relates to sensitive political figures. It also reaffirmed Atiku’s commitment to his political journey and assured that only official channels of communication should be trusted for updates about him.
