Serial loser, Nigeria bigger than your presidential ambition – APC knocks Atiku
By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as a serial loser.
APC spokesman, Felix Morka, said Nigeria is greater than Atiku’s unrealised presidential ambition.
Morka was responding to Atiku’s world press conference on Monday, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that upheld President Bola Tinubu’s election.
Following his defeat at the apex court, Atiku said the judiciary has become the “lost hope” of the common man.
He also claimed that incontrovertible evidence showed that Tinubu broke the law by submitting a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, Morka said Atiku should accept defeat as a statesman.
A statement by Morka said: “It is delusional for Atiku, and his degenerate PDP, to have expected the courts to rely on their bogus, flimsy, unverifiable, uncorroborated, illogical and hearsay evidence to upturn an election that was conducted in substantial compliance with the Constitution and electoral laws of our land.
“Thankfully, it does not lie in Atiku’s mouth to declare what constitutes ‘incontrovertible evidence’.
“That is the constitutional duty of the courts, which they have discharged honourably and creditably.
“For a serial election loser whose life ambition is to rule the country, we understand how pained and utterly distraught Atiku must be.
“Atiku, you are right that this is not and cannot be all about you. Yes, it is about Nigeria. Nigeria is greater than your unrealized ambition to be president. Nigeria must move and has moved on.”
