Daily Post Nigeria 2027: Atiku will join APC if Tinubu promises to hand over power to him – Wike’s aide Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Politics 2027: Atiku will join APC if Tinubu promises to hand over power to him – Wike’s aide Published on April 13, 2025 By Seun Opejobi Lere Olayinka, the spokesman of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed why any opposition led by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will fail. Olayinka said Atiku would abandon the opposition and join the All Progressives Congress, APC, if President Bola Tinubu promises to hand over power to him in 2027. He made the remark while mocking Atiku following his visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Atiku, alongside former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai; former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal; former Benue State governor Gabriel Suswam, among others, had visited Buhari at his residence in Kaduna State on Friday. Speaking, Atiku said he visited Buhari to pay Sallah homage. Dismissing Atiku’s reason, Olayinka said the former Vice President should instead pay homage to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta for the celebration of Lisabi Day.
Posting on Facebook, Olayinka wrote: “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.
Also, we are doing Egungun Festival in my hometown next month. Let him not forget to pay Egungun Festival homage to us in Okemesi Ekiti.” Related Topics: APC Atiku Tinubu Wike Don't Miss Nigerian students slam NASS over proposed bill to fine, jail non voters You may like Wike vs Fubara: I’m impartial in Rivers political crisis – Ibas Christian Chukwu: Atiku, Peter Obi, others react to death of former Super Eagles coach ‘He brought joy to millions of Nigerians’ — Tinubu reacts to Chukwu’s death Tinubu: Your coalition will not work – Ganduje to Atiku, El-Rufai after visiting Buhari 2027: Tinubu will not be defeated again in Abia – Orji Uzor Kalu Fallout of Primaries: Mass exodus hits Anambra APC Advertise About Us Contact Us Privacy-Policy Terms Copyright © Daily Post Media Ltd.
