Atiku Believes Tinubu is Responsible for his Serial Electoral Losses – APC
The All Progressive Congress (APC), has counseled the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, to accept his defeat and lick his political wounds with some level of dignity.
Reacting to Atiku’s press conference, on Thursday, the party’s spokesman, Felix Morka, in a statement, said Atiku’s “press conference lacked purpose and delivered nothing except the pitiful regurgitation of lies, mindless distortions and deliberate falsehood on his infantile obsession with the academic record of Bola Tinubu.”
Morka said for several weeks now, Nigerians and the world have watched with incredulity the former VP’s display of utter desperation in his failed bid to become the President of Nigeria.

The statement reads: “Earlier today (yesterday), he put his desperation in overdrive during his press conference where he addressed some of the issues in his appeal at the Supreme Court and bandying unproven charges against President Bola Tinubu in a calculated attempt to shamelessly whip up public sentiments and inordinately pressure the Supreme Court.
“We believe Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should have known better than to demonstrate gross contempt of the highest court by making public comments on a matter that he has submitted to the court for adjudication.
The major takeaway from his Yar’Adua Centre show, especially at question time, was that Atiku harbours deep animosity towards Tinubu whom he believes was responsible for his electoral woes in 2007, 2015, 2019 and this year.
Earlier, Morka in a television programme monitored in Abuja, said the development foreclosed Atiku’s political chances in the country.
“Atiku Abubakar’s political career has come to a standstill. The sun has set on his career. And I think he needs to realise it. He served in this country as Vice President. He held other positions. That is enough for any individual in this country who is politically active.
‘’I appreciate his service but he needs to rest this matter,” he said.
