Atiku Abubakar
He recently had his say cia a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, the latest endorsement is clearly as a result of fear and panic, and he remains unbothered, since Nigerians will be the ultimate judge in two years’ time.
He added thst the recent defections are not driven by ideology or preference for the ruling party, instead, politicians are being held hostage and forced to defect.
His words, “When you’ve prepared diligently for an exam, you can sleep soundly the night before, waking up assured of success. That’s the position of our coalition.
Nigerians are the ultimate judges. Their endorsements will determine the outcome, not the political manoeuvrings of the ruling party. The recent endorsements reveal the panicked state of this administration. Insecurity is at an unprecedented level, with territories being reclaimed by insurgents in Borno State and other regions. The cost of living is unbearable.
Families struggle to feed themselves, access healthcare, or send their children to school. As school fees are due, many are weighed down by these burdens. Yet, the government has done little to address these challenges, choosing instead to focus on political games.
“These defections are not driven by ideology or preference for the APC. Politicians are being held hostage and compelled to defect.
Some of these individuals are being targeted for corruption, both by former governors and the current administration. They are being pressured to pay a ransom, which manifests as defections.
This is what happened in Delta State and elsewhere. Even the so-called ‘quiet bomb’ that has been hinted at is a result of crimes committed by their predecessors. These are being used as leverage to shake them down, hold them hostage, and negotiate their defection to the ruling party.”
WOW.
