APC NORTHERNERS SUPPORTING ATIKU TO CREATE DIVISION IN ADC – EL-RUFAI’S ALLY

th 15 8

This is a tweet from an APC member who is trying to kill the morale of Obidients and supporters of Ameachi, southerners, and create division. That is the assignment.

The momentum of ADC in the North is not because of Atiku Abubakar. With all due respect, Atiku is definitely a force, like every other leader in the coalition one way or the other, but the momentum of the ADC is because of the unending suffering and poverty that Tinubu’s government has put all of us through.

Also, it is factually wrong to say Peter Obi is not known in the North. This same man, when he was far less known, won Plateau and Taraba in 2023, and got good votes from Kaduna, Nasarawa, Adamawa, and Benue. You don’t get that kind of spread if people don’t know you.

Now, granted that the strategy he employed in 2023 was discouraging to many of us, but we are ready to forgive, and we understand why he did that.

The opposite side also whipped religious sentiment and even ran on a Muslim Muslim ticket, unprecedented from any major political party since 1999. And we all know it was not for the love of Islam. Those who didn’t know before 2023, at least by now know that it was mainly because it was easier and more convenient at the time to win the election. It was just strategy, no more, no less.

So, if you look at this, why should the North continue holding a grudge against Obi for employing the same kind of political strategy because it was convenient for him at the time? Unless we are hypocrites, and I want to believe we are not.

This momentum is bigger than any lone individual, regardless of his capacity. People are reacting to the reality they are facing in the markets, in their bellies, and in their surroundings, and everyone in this coalition has the capacity to do better than what we are seeing now.

So it is not Peter Obi or nobody, it is not Ameachi or nobody, it is not RMK or nobody, it is not El Rufai or nobody, and it is certainly not Atiku or nobody. It is TINUBU MUST GO!
