People’s Democratic Party’s chieftain, Segun Sowunmi, has advised his principal, Atiku Abubakar, to learn from President Bola Tinubu on how to form a coalition.

He recently had his say during an interview on TVC, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, rather than form a coalition with another political platform, Atiku should be looking to lure opposition politicians into the PDP, just like President Tinubu has been doing.

He added that Atiku, who has greatly benefited from the PDP as a former Vice President and has gotten the party’s presidential ticket twice, should not be trying to form a coalition that will not have the PDP as its base.

His words, “I’ve always said to people, people love with their hearts. I love atiku with my bones. But I can’t help him against himself. You can’t run vice presidency on PDP two times with Obasanjo, get presidential candidate on that same party two times. I don’t agree with him that the next best thing is to be shopping for…(a platform) If you want a coalition, why are you not coalescing them into your party?

Look at your rival, your friend. You guys started together. At best, even if you want to say he’s building a coalition is he not coalescing opponents into his place?

That guy (Tinubu) is something oh, he has this uncanny ability to make everybody individually feel special. It doesn’t matter whether you are a former foe or a president’s friend, every moment you share with him, I don’t know how he does it, though you’re going to leave the place feeling that you matter, feeling that he gets it, feeling that what you guys are talking about is important. And there’s something about him, when he gives you his word, he will say something like ‘ko le ye’, meaning that to the best of human ability, it will stand.”

WOW.
