End your unsuccessful bid –  Presidency advises Atiku

End your unsuccessful bid –  Presidency advises Atiku

In a recent development, the Presidency has strongly advised former Vice-President and former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to end what they’ve described as his “unsuccessful bid” for the presidency. The call comes with a warning to refrain from engaging in activities that might further disrupt the political landscape and national unity.

The catalyst for this reaction was Atiku’s recent press conference held in Abuja. During the conference, Atiku raised concerns about the Supreme Court’s decision on October 26, which upheld President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s electoral victory.

Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, issued a statement in response. He emphasized that Atiku entered the February 2023 elections “with a fragmented and tattered umbrella.”

In a strongly worded statement titled ‘Time for Atiku Abubakar to finally step back and abandon his presidential ambition,’ Onanuga stated, “Atiku’s electoral defeat can be attributed to his participation in a major election with a fractured party platform that was unable to maintain unity.”

He went on to express his disappointment with Atiku’s reaction to the court’s decision, remarking, “It was misguided to anticipate that Atiku, at the age of 77, would act as a statesman and accept the verdict of the highest court and the Nigerian people with grace.”
