BREAKING: You Are Africa’s Most Infamous Election Loser, Failed Fantastically As VP – APC Tackles Atiku

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, describing him as Africa’s most infamous election loser.

Reacting to Atiku’s latest jab at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the former Vice President failed to implement his economic plan when he governed Nigeria from 1999 to 2007.

In a statement obtained by Naija News on Tuesday, the APC said Atiku failed fantastically to execute his economic ideas as vice president and also failed to get his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to do so in all of their 16 years in power.

Morka stated that Nigeria’s intelligent and discerning electorate will not act against their own best interest by electing into office “a man with some of the most obscene record of breach of public trust.”

The APC pointed out that Atiku was the Vice President in the government that created crooked and viscerally corrupt petrol subsidy hydra-headed dragon that has crippled Nigeria’s economy.

ATIKU, AFRICA’S MOST INFAMOUS ELECTION LOSER

Continuing his rants on his X handle, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that he did not lose the 2023 presidential election, claiming the election was stolen from him.

Make no mistake. Atiku is Africa’s most infamous presidential election loser. Since serving as vice president, he has lost election to every single president that has been elected to office in Nigeria. Six times in the last 17 years, Nigerians have declared their verdict of untrustworthiness, incompetence, chronic corruption, visionlessness, uncanny desperation, and lack of sportsmanship on Atiku’s presidential candidacy, and roundly rejected him at the polls.

Atiku’s long record of electoral defeat was serially certified by Nigeria’s highest courts, sealing his rejection by the electorate with judicial and constitutional finality. However, a clearly unabashed Atiku continues to lay a bogus claim that he did not lose the 2023 presidential election. That is beyond comical. Just as he probably believes that he was cheated out of all previous 5 presidential elections that he also lost.

Atiku’s inability to come to terms with the reality of his rejection cuts an ominous portrait of extreme and disturbing political desperation.

Nigeria’s intelligent and discerning electorate will not act against their own best interest by electing into office a man with some of the most obscene record of breach of public trust, so odious that, former President Olusegun Obasanjo reportedly stated that “if I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me”. Atiku is a central and recurrent player in some of our country’s most vile roll call of corruption scandals perpetrated PDP administrations.

Atiku was the Vice President in the government that created crooked and viscerally corrupt petrol subsidy hydra-headed dragon that has crippled our country’s economy, and laid the foundation for the endemic corruption and inefficiency that have undermined our power sector through the years.

Atiku’s desperation to be president can only be understood in the context of his determination to complete the full subversion of Nigeria’s economic life from where he left off as Vice President.

Nigerians will not entrust their country to someone who puts his selfish interest, and the interest of his cronies over and above the national interest.

Having now demystified himself with the release, last Sunday, of “What I Would Do Differently”, it is now settled that Atiku has nothing to offer Nigerians but his stale, tired, tested and failed economic ideas that are at polar relevance to the current existential economic challenges facing our country.

Atiku had a chance to execute whatever economic ideas he may have ever had. He failed fantastically to do so as vice president and also failed to get his forlorn PDP to do so in all of their 16 profligate years. Atiku thinks himself capable of fixing Nigeria but cannot fix the rot and hopeless dysfunction in his PDP.

We urge Nigerians to stand fast in support of a the All Progressives Congress (APC)-administration of President Bola Tinubu and valiant effort to restore vitality to our economy for the good of all Nigerians.
