Atiku under attack for saying Northern Nigerians do not need Igbo, Yoruba as President. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, came under attacks from many quarters over his call for a northern presidency in 2023 at the weekend after Buhari a Northerner is currently the Nigeria President.
“What does Atiku think the average Southerner needs?
“We view Atiku’s public declaration which framed him as an ethnic and regional champion as unbecoming for a man who was once a Vice-President of Nigeria.
The facade is over, he is now fully naked before the Nigerian people.”
Also berating the PDP candidate on his Facebook page, the Director, New Media of the APC PCC, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode lampooned Atiku maintaining that the country does not need an ethnic bigot and tribal champions as President in 2023.
We must be fair in our dealings with one another.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) said Atiku's statement was the worst expression of ethnocentric opportunism. The council observed that he has feasted on such base, cheap, primordial sentiments to use the masses and the elite of the North as the ladder to ascend to power.
