Former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar, has rubbished the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a
second term by governors of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the
National Assembly’s leadership.
Atiku said Tinubu’s endorsement by APC governors shows a
sign of panic and desperation by the party.
During the APC National Summit in Abuja on Friday, the
party’s Governors Forum and leadership of the National Assembly had endorsed
Tinubu for a second term.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio had declared that
Tinubu was APC and Nigeria’s sole presidential candidate in 2027.

Reacting, Atiku said the endorsement of Nigerians is what
matters and not the ruling party’s political manoeuvrings.
Speaking through his Media Aide, Paul Ibe, the former Vice
President said Tinubu’s administration should focus on redeeming Nigeria from
hardship, insecurity and not be preoccupied with presidential endorsements.
Addressing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, Ibe said: “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.”
