“You Are A Desperate Politician”, APC Tackles Atiku

By Akinwale Kasali

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has lashed out at former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, for “losing touch with reality.”

This is coming in the wake of the criticism of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s one year in office by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Candidate at the 2023 Presidential Election. Atiku stated that the nation’s economic fortunes has worsened since President Tinubu assumed office on May 29th, 2023.

The APC leadership has, however, labeled Atiku as “a desperate politician suffering from primordial envy.”

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, knocked Atiku, saying he was too blinded by his ambition to appreciate the outstanding first-year achievements of the President.

Morka also disclosed that the former VP was not in a position to dismiss Tinubu’s ongoing policies as ‘trial and error.’

He said: “Atiku’s self-serving efforts to minimize the bold, genuine, and metamorphic policies and interventions of the present administration only smacks of primordial political envy and crass desperation for the power Nigerians have so wisely denied him. He lives in an alternate reality of prejudice and unpatriotic desire for Nigeria’s failure so he may scavenge his way to an even more elusive presidency.

“The President needs the support and encouragement of Nigerians, not the bile-filled pessimism of partisan Atikus. Atiku’s false alarm of an imminent food scarcity boldface ignores the widely acknowledged proactive measures already introduced by President Tinubu to guarantee food security in the country.

“ The former Vice President’s swipe on the administration’s national security management again betrays his lack of touch with the reality of our current situation. Not only did the administration revamp and reconfigure the country’s security apparatus, but it also created a Special Security Fund to boost its superiority and operational effectiveness against merchants of crime and insecurity.

“Yet, Atiku turns a blind eye to considerable improvement in our security, especially in the North East where Atiku hails from. The opposition’s efforts to burden the administration with ceaseless, contrived, unjustified, and diversionary reproval is grossly miscalculated and misleading.

“Tinubu remains unshakable in his commitment to building concrete blocks of progress and greatness for Nigeria. While Atiku and his band of mudslingers idle away, the President will continue, unstoppably, to deliver high-grade infrastructure not only in our nation’s capital, Abuja but all around the country.”
