Different reactions have trailed the GoFundMe account set up to raise funds for Atiku Abubakar’s legal battle against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate is challenging the outcome of the presidential election.

After Atiku filed a suit seeking the court to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) allow him access electoral materials, there were reports that an account had been set up to raise funds for the PDP candidate.

But Phrank Shaibu, one of Atiku’s media aides, dissociated the presidential candidate from the account, saying: “We are not in any way connected to it but we consider it as a purely private initiative of the promoters.”
