Lere Olayinka, spokesperson for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has claimed that any opposition movement led by former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar is destined to fail.
Olayinka stated that Atiku would readily abandon the opposition and align with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if President Bola Tinubu pledged to transfer power to him in 2027.
He made the comments while ridiculing Atiku’s recent visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Those of us who have sense know that any opposition being led by Atiku is a failure from the beginning.
“Reason is, if tomorrow President Tinubu calls Atiku and tells him, ‘Don’t worry, I will hand over to you in 2027, just join APC,’ he (Atiku) will be in the APC immediately.
“I am still waiting for Atiku to carry body and go to Abeokuta to pay Lisabi Day homage to OBJ sha,” he said.
