Atiku, Obi’s Alliance Only Way To Kick Out APC – Ibe
Paul Ibe, Media Adviser to Atiku Abubakar, has revealed that opposition politicians, including Peter Obi and Atiku, have learned lessons from the 2023 presidential election and plan to unite against the APC administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Media Adviser to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe, says that opposition politicians including his principal and Peter Gregory Obi, have learnt their lessons in the 2023 presidential election and would unite to kick out the “incompetent and clueless” administration of the All Progressives Congress, APC, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Ibe spoke as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday.
Atiku was the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, while Obi contested for same position on the platform of the Labour Party in the 2023 election.
Atiku was the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, while Obi contested for same position on the platform of the Labour Party in the 2023 election.
Both candidates scored over six million votes each in the election won by APC’s Bola Tinubu who got over eight million votes.
Before Obi joined the Labour Party, he was a member of the PDP and a longtime ally of Atiku. He left for the Labour Party months before the election, even as analysts have noted that the PDP ruined its chances to wrest power from the APC by dividing its votes with the Labour Party.
The former Vice President and Obi have exchanged visits recently but Ibe did not comment on the public visits between them or whether his principal would step down for the Labour Party chieftain in the 2027 election.
However, Ibe noted that, the two opposition figures have learnt their lessons and won’t allow a repeat of their mistake in 2023 going forward, pointing out that the country was at a crossroads at the moment measuring core indices of food inflation, inflation, cost of doing business, and cost of living crisis, among others.
His words, “Nigerians deserve better than what they are getting. It’s never been this bad in this country and there is no hope.
“The truth of the matter is that Atiku Abubakar has promoted opposition parties to work together, to come together; that is the only way they can kick out this incompetent and clueless government. And I believe that discussions have been going on.
“Lessons have been learnt from 2023 by all parties including Atiku Abubakar and I believe that it is on the basis of the lessons that have been learnt that they are moving forward and having discussions.
“They have learnt that lesson and want to be united and go forward.”
According to him, for Atiku, “All options are on the table,” even as synergy is the new name of politics. (Source: Channels Television)
