The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a statement characterizing the purported alliance between former presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) as a product of mutual desperation.
According to the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka, Atiku and Obi’s quest for suitable party platforms to pursue their presidential ambitions reflects opportunism rather than genuine commitment to national development.
Speculations of a potential alliance between the two politicians intensified following Obi’s recent visit to Atiku and other opposition leaders in Abuja. However, the APC’s statement questions whether Obi will rejoin the PDP, if Atiku will switch to the Labour Party, or if both will explore other options, including Professor Pat Utomi’s proposed mega party.
The statement highlights Atiku’s reputation as a seasoned political wanderer and Obi’s track record as a political wayfarer. It also praises President Bola Tinubu’s leadership qualities, economic policies, and infrastructure initiatives as pivotal to Nigeria’s progress.
The APC urges Nigerians to support the party and President Tinubu’s vision for a stronger and more prosperous nation.
The Nigeria same political landscape is complications considering the high caliber of people competing and striving to actualize their political ambition.
