FCT, Abuja – The All Progressives Congress (APC) said the speculations of a possible alliance between former vice president, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Labour Party are fueled by their mutual desperation to be President of Nigeria.
The ruling said news of Obi’s return to the PDP would be hardly surprising as the former Anambra state governor has a reputation for being a political wayfarer while Atiku has a track record of being a veteran political wanderer.
The APC national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, Esq, said this in a statement issued via the ruling partyâs X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @OfficialAPCNg on Tuesday, May 21.
Morka said while itâs unclear which party both men will end up in, Atiku joining the Labour Party will be him living up to his well-established reputation as Nigeriaâs most itinerant politician.
He added that Obi and Atiku joining Professor Pat Utomi’s mega party will mean sojourning into the political wilderness.
The APC spokesman said for now, Utomi’s mega party offers no tangible accommodation for both men.
Atiku and Obi are united by their mutual desperation to be President of Nigeria and ignoble disdain for President Bola Tinubu’s focused and extraordinary commitment to the transformation of our nation. Their restless drift in search of convenient party platforms to execute their presidential run only belie the self-indulgent and opportunistic essence of their aspirations.
He urged Nigerians to stand fast in their invaluable support of APC and President Tinubu’s determined commitment to deliver a stronger, more secure and prosperous country for us all.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Lauretta Onochie, a former aide to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, identified one major factor that would lead to President Tinubu’s victory in 2027.
Onochie maintained strongly that Tinubu’s re-election would be smooth considering Atiku’s and Peter Obi’s merger.
The APC chieftain made this revelation while reacting to Peter Obi and Atiku’s recent meeting in Abuja Buhari’s former appointee claimed that Atiku’s decision to step down for Peter Obi in 2027 would lead to PDP’s defeat and APC’s victory
