The All Progressives Congress (APC) has taunted Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidates in the 2023 election, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar over their recent meeting adding that they were united by their mutual desperation to be President of Nigeria.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka conveyed the party’s displeasure in a statement issued on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.
The statement reads in part, “Atiku and Obi are united by their mutual desperation to be President f 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 self-indulgent and opportunistic essence of their aspirations.”
The party further stated that it won’t be surprised if Obi returns to PDP or Atiku decamps to Labour Party as the duo were known as political wanderers.
It pointed out that Nigerians cannot trust men who are unable to build or fix their party to tackle serious and complex national, political and economic challenges of the country.
“Men without the staying power to build or fix their own parties, who flee at the slightest flicker of internal crisis cannot possibly be trusted by Nigerians to tackle serious and complex national, political and economic challenges that confront our nation”, Morka said.
