Atiku Abubakar Former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the 2023 presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, had reacted to speculation that he has dumped the main opposition party.
The former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, while disregarding the trended story published by The Nation Newspaper, stated that the publication is far from the truth.
He said "I have been inundated with calls from our party members, supporters, and concerned Nigerians regarding the fabricated story in The Nation, Tinubu's ragtag, alleging my departure from the PDP. Let me be unequivocal: this is pure mischief, devoid of truth. I reaffirm my unwavering loyalty to the PDP while advocating the swift merger of opposition parties. The urgency of this consolidation cannot be overstated.
Speaking further, he said "Tinubu's relentless pursuit of personal agendas at the expense of national governance is glaring. His myopic focus on 2027 betrays a disregard for the pressing needs of the populace. It's high time he ceased his bumbling escapades and prioritized the welfare of the people.
Atiku, however, vowed to continue tackling media claims from any quarter.
He said "My media team is vigorously countering his baseless claims. Let this be a wake-up call to all: the pursuit of power must not overshadow the imperative of effective governance. Together, let us propel Nigeria forward, leaving behind the antics of political charlatans.
However, the statement released by Atiku was received by Nigerians with mixed reactions as many residents challenged the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, to accept fate and regard Tinubu as President Tinubu claiming there is nothing he could do about it, Tinubu is the President of Nigeria and deserves the honor from everyone including Atiku.
The Round Table, however, understands that Atiku Abubakar has been recalcitrant in mentioning the name of the President without regard to the Office Tinubu currently occupies as the Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
