Atiku’s political future bleak – Onanuga
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has lashed out at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, labelling him a “loser” as high-profile defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) continue.
Onanuga, in a terse post on his X handle, mocked Atiku’s recent efforts to forge new political alliances ahead of the 2027 elections, suggesting his moves are already unraveling.
He further claimed that Atiku’s efforts to form a viable opposition bloc had been rebuffed by even his closest political allies including former running mate Ifeanyi Okowa and defunct CPC members.
Onanuga wrote on X: “Atiku’s political future looks bleak. The coalition that he, El Rufai, Babachir, and new member Baba-Ahmed are cobbling together has disintegrated. Potential allies, including former running mate Ifeanyi Okowa and defunct CPC members, are giving his leprous group a wide berth. Atiku is a loser again.”
