Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar has dismissed reports that he has rejected stepping down from his 2027 presidential ambition for a Southern candidate.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Atiku Media Office, the former vice president described such reports as delusion.
He said there was never a meeting where discussions about the 2027 presidential candidacy were held.
He said the entire report is a malicious fabrication of fiction cooked up in the propaganda kitchens of the Tinubu-led APC regime.
Also describing such reports as desperate and laughable, the former vice president said that the ruling party members and leaders are focused on sowing discord within the opposition ranks.
He also stated that the All Progressives Congress-led administration hopes to derail the momentum gained by successfully unveiling the ADC as the coalition’s political vehicle.
”No amount of propaganda, planted stories, or faceless briefings will fracture the resolve of the opposition coalition. We are united, focused, and determined to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of this rudderless government.
“We want to remind the ruling party that Nigerians have already embraced the ADC as the most credible and viable opposition platform ahead of 2027. The massive and growing support that the ADC continues to enjoy across the country is not just encouraging – it is a clear signal that the Tinubu administration is living on borrowed time.
“We call on Nigerians and the media to treat the so-called “statement” with the contempt it deserves. It bears no attribution, no credibility, and no truth,” Atiku said.
