The APC asserted that Atiku, who was the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election, along with his party, has consistently failed at the polls since 2015 and has not been able to provide a credible opposition to the Nigerian people.

Atiku expressed his concerns on Tuesday during a meeting with the national executive committee of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Abuja. He warned against Nigeria evolving into a “one-party dictatorship” state and urged other opposition parties to unite against the ruling APC.

However, in a statement on Wednesday, APC’s spokesman, Felix Morka, said, “It is pitiful that a statesman of Atiku’s standing would so easily conflate the wide acceptance of our great party among Nigerians with his irrational fear of one-party dictatorship.”

“Remarkably, Atiku and his PDP have not only consistently failed at the polls, they have proved incapable of offering a credible alternative political vision as expected of an opposition party.

“We urge Atiku to concentrate on repairing his damaged political psyche and attempt to revive his comatose PDP and leave APC out of their combined predicament. However, we welcome the former Vice President’s charge to opposition political parties to rally together to engage in opposition politics,” the statement partly read.
