‘You Can’t Even Unite The Party On Whose Platform You Contested Election’ – Tinubu’s Aide Fires Atiku

The Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, has slammed the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, over his recent comment on the economy and the current administration.

Naija News reported that Atiku, in a statement signed on Sunday, revealed what he would have done differently to help Nigerians if he had emerged victorious.

Atiku said he has been inundated with inquiries about what he would have done differently if he were at the helm of affairs of the country.

He, however, said Tinubu is President, and the focus should be on him and not on any other person.

The former Vice President said he believes that such inquiries distract from the critical questions of what President Bola Tinubu needs to do to save Nigerians from the excruciating pains arising from his trial-and-error economic policies.

Atiku said he hopes Tinubu and members of his administration are humble enough to borrow one or two things from his team’s ideas in the interest of the Nigerian people.

In a post via X, Tinubu’s aide mocked Atiku over his inability to intervene in the ongoing crisis in the opposition party.

According to Dada, the former vice president cannot properly lead a political party with 13 governors even to be considered a serious opposition.

He wrote, “You weren’t elected Alhaji. You can’t even unite the party on whose platform you have contested. You can’t provide proper leadership to a political party that has 13 governors to even be considered a serious opposition. Rest Alhaji. Or don’t. see you in 2027.”
