The ruling All Progressives Congress, on Tuesday, launched a renewed attack on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, describing him as an infamous election loser.
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja.
Morka was reacting to Monday’s claim by the former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate that he didn’t lose the 2023 election.
In a post via his official X handle, Atiku posted that the mandate was ‘criminally stolen’ from him.
However, the APC spokesman stated that nobody takes the former Vice President seriously anymore as a result of his long record of electoral defeats, which have even been further certified in Nigeria’s courts.
He said, “Make no mistake. Atiku is Africa’s most infamous presidential election loser. Since serving as vice president, he has lost election to every single president who has been elected to office in Nigeria. Six times in the last 17 years, Nigerians have declared their verdict of uncanny desperation and lack of sportsmanship and roundly rejected him at the polls.
“However, a clearly unabashed Atiku continues to lay a bogus claim that he did not lose the 2023 presidential election. That is beyond comical. He probably believes that he was cheated out of all the previous five presidential elections that he also lost. Atiku’s inability to come to terms with the reality of his rejection cuts an ominous portrait of extreme and disturbing political desperation.
“Nigeria’s intelligent and discerning electorate will not act against their own best interest by electing into office a man with some of the most obscene record of breach of public trust, so odious that, former President Olusegun Obasanjo reportedly stated that “if I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me.”
