The All Progressives Congress, APC, has slammed former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, urging him to stop what it calls “persistent political restlessness,” saying the 2027 presidency is not for him.
The APC spokesman in Lagos State, Mr Seye Oladejo, made this
remark in a statement on Tuesday in reaction to Abubakar’s reported
registration as a member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Oladejo said Abubakar’s decision to join yet another
political party at the age of 80 underscores “a pattern of unending political
migration” which, he said, had become “a needless distraction to the national
political space.”
He said Nigerians had repeatedly rejected the former
vice-president at the polls, adding that “no fresh mandate awaits him in 2027″.
“Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar must realise that the
2027 presidency is not calling his name.
“What the nation expects from him at this stage is
reflection, not another cycle of party-hopping.”Oladejo said.
The spokesman argued that Abubakar’s long history of
shifting political platforms had contributed to internal instability within
political parties.
He suggested that the former vice-president should go on
retirement and allow national politics to move forward.
The spokesman added that the country was under what he
described as focused and responsible leadership,and urged Atiku to discontinue
“political excursions that lead only to confusion”.
Atiku, who has contested several presidential elections, is
yet to formally declare interest in the 2027 race.
