Get ready to run again in 2027, APC leader makes fun of Atiku

Yekini Nabena, a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress and a former Deputy National Publicity, made fun of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Friday, mocking him for not having begun serious preparations for the 2027 presidential election earlier.

This comes only a day after the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate refuted accusations of certificate forgery made against him in court, saying that he had not betrayed President Bola Tinubu.

Instead, he said that in the 2007 presidential election, the former governor of Lagos State backed Umaru Yar’Adua of the PDP and deserted both him and the Action Congress of Nigeria.

Atiku also recounted how he prevented former President Olusegun Obasanjo from seizing control of Lagos State during the 2007 general election, thereby saving Tinubu.

However, Nabena maintained that the whole controversy surrounding the President’s credential from Chicago State University was a pre-election issue that had been overlooked.

The former APC deputy spokesperson asked Atiku to focus on getting ready for another election in 2027 rather than trying to take the country backward in a statement released in Abuja on Friday.

Nabena also brought Atiku’s contempt of court on the case already in court to the notice of Nigerian justices and the Supreme Court.

“Let me take this opportunity to tell the former Vice President to begin getting ready for another election in 2027 as usual,” he said. Bringing up pre-election issues in the political sphere won’t make him Nigeria’s president. Caleb Westberb, the registrar of Chicago State University, has never claimed that President Tinubu falsified the certificate he sent to the Nigerian Independent National Electoral Commission.

It should be obvious to Atiku Abubakar by now that Nigerians have moved on. Because of this administration’s responsibility and responsiveness, the nation is currently experiencing strong governance.

“Consider the assistance programs that the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs offers to the elderly. In response to the audacious decision to end the gasoline subsidy that had been holding the nation captive for a long time, the government has intervened in every area, including security, aviation, health, transportation, and the economy and agriculture. The Nigerian people are determined not to let Atiku or Peter Obi bring their country back to the days of desertification, and this Renewed Hope Agenda is already effective.
