The spokesman of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Lere Olayinka has disclosed why any opposition led by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, will fail.
Atiku biggest challenge is coming from the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike who does not even want to hear any talk of Atiku getting the PDP presidential ticket.
Posting on Facebook, Olayinka wrote: “Those of us who have sense know that any opposition being led by Atiku is a failure from the beginning
He made the remark while mocking Atiku following his visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Atiku, alongside former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai; former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal; former Benue State governor Gabriel Suswam, among others, had visited Buhari at his residence in Kaduna State on Friday.
Olayinka said Atiku would abandon the opposition and join the All Progressives Congress, APC, if President Bola Tinubu promises to hand over power to him in 2027.
Speaking, Atiku said he visited Buhari to pay Sallah homage.
Dismissing Atiku’s reason, Olayinka said the former Vice President should instead pay homage to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta for the celebration of Lisabi Day.
Reason is, if tomorrow President Tinubu calls Atiku and tells him, ‘Don’t worry, I will hand over to you in 2027, just join APC,’ he (Atiku) will be in the APC immediately.
I am still waiting for Atiku to carry body and go to Abeokuta to pay Lisabi Day homage to OBJ sha.
Also, we are doing Egungun Festival in my hometown next month. Let him not forget to pay Egungun Festival homage to us in Okemesi Ekiti.”
