Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has described former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as an 80-year-old political tourist.
Mogaji Seye Oladejo, the spokesman of the state arm of the
party, said Atiku’s decision to officially join the African Democratic
Congress, ADC, at his age shows his level of desperation and his “incurable
addiction to party-hopping.”
In a statement he issued on Wednesday, Oladejo wanted what
Atiku is looking for at his age.
According to Oladejo: “Atiku’s decision to pick up an ADC
membership card at 80 is the perfect climax to a political career defined by
ceaseless desperation, chronic restlessness, and an incurable addiction to
party-hopping.
“Nigerians are laughing – and rightly so. Because the
question writes itself: What exactly is Atiku still looking for at 80?
“Power? Relevance? Closure? Or simply another party to
scatter?
“This is a man who has, Worn more political jerseys than a
veteran footballer on a farewell tour; contested presidential elections like a
man chasing a debt, not a mandate, abandoned allies, parties, and principles at
the slightest inconvenience, spent decades auditioning for a job Nigerians have
repeatedly told him he cannot have.”
Oladejo said Atiku’s latest “jump into ADC is not strategy –
it is survival. It is not reinvention – it is expiration disguised as
relevance. It is not courage – it is panic.”
He wondered how Atiku who could not fix the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, would fix Nigeria.
“A man who couldn’t fix PDP wants to fix Nigeria? Please.
“Here is a man who split the PDP into pieces, fought
governors, disrespected party elders, weaponised internal chaos, and plunged
the party into the worst existential crisis of its life – only to now run away
like a burglar leaving a ransacked house.
“And now, at 80 years old, he wants to start again?
“Start what, exactly? Another round of confusion? Another
failed presidential bid? Another national distraction?”
