The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, the Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidates in the 2023 election, of acting out of desperation following their recent meeting.
This accusation was made in a statement signed by APC national publicity secretary Felix Morka on Tuesday.
Responding to speculation about Obi’s recent visit to Atiku, the APC stated that the two are united by their mutual desperation to become President of Nigeria and their contempt for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The statement reads in part, “Atiku and Obi are united by their mutual desperation to become President of Nigeria and their ignoble disdain for President Bola Tinubu’s focused and extraordinary commitment to transforming our nation.
“Their restless drift in search of convenient party platforms to execute their presidential ambitions reveals the self-indulgent and opportunistic nature of their aspirations.”
Regarding a possible alliance between the former governor and the ex-vice president, the party said it wouldn’t be surprised if Obi returns to the PDP or Atiku joins the Labour Party, as both are known for switching political affiliations.
The statement pointed out that Nigerians cannot trust individuals who cannot build or fix their own parties to address the serious and complex national, political, and economic challenges facing the country.
“Men without the staying power to build or fix their own parties, who flee at the slightest sign of internal crisis, cannot possibly be trusted by Nigerians to tackle the serious and complex national, political, and economic challenges that confront our nation,” the statement added.
