After the former Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki disowned Ray Hushpuppi in a statement, the PDP presidential candidate in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar has also disowned him him.
In a statement that was apparently in response to the allegations of the APC,Atiku through his spokesman, Mr Paul Ibe said:
“It is curious that the All Progressives Congress is mischievously trying to link Atiku Abubakar to the alleged fraudster, Ramon Abbas, AKA Hushpuppi, simply because he was photographed with Atiku at an event where many Nigerians had gathered.”

“For the avoidance of doubt, it was a mere photo-op and not at any meeting as being ingloriously speculated. We would advise the APC and Mr. Nabena to be very mindful of such senseless statements in the future especially as the case under reference is a subject of litigation in another country.”
Had they been more sensitive, they would have come to terms with the reality that the case is a national embarrassment – not something to cheer about for any political blackmail.”
