Atiku’s Presidential Ambition Ridiculed by Wike’s Aide: “Was It Medically Prescribed?”

Atiku Abubakar’s fixation with becoming the president of Nigeria has been questioned by Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant to the Minister of Public Communications for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Atiku is acting as though a doctor had prescribed him the presidency, and Olayinka claims that if he doesn’t become the leader of Nigeria, something will happen to him.
According to him, Atiku is the PDP’s (People’s Democratic Party) bad apple.

In a Channels Television interview on Thursday, Olayinka reportedly posed new queries on Atiku’s interest in the presidency.

He claimed that Atiku’s desire to become president driven him to work against the PDP in Lagos State in 2003 while serving as vice president, creating an environment conducive to anti-party operations within the party.

“A doctor prescribed ‘presidency’ for Atiku Abubakar so that if he doesn’t become president, something will happen to him,” Wike’s adviser said, adding that the only thing that interests him is being president of Nigeria.

Hours after Atiku formally declared on Wednesday that he had left the PDP, Olayinka submitted his application.

To the PDP Chairman in Jada 1 ward, Jada LGA, Adamawa State, Atiku sent a letter announcing his decision to leave the main opposition party.

However, Paul Ibe, Atiku’s media adviser, asserted that those opposed to his political aspirations purposefully leaked the letter announcing Atiku’s withdrawal from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), delaying its formal release.

In an interview with Arise News on Wednesday night, Ibe reportedly revealed the information in response to criticism about Atiku’s departure from the PDP being announced just hours after former President Muhammadu Buhari’s funeral.
