The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, has claimed that Nigerians will reject the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
He likened Atiku to Kenya’s former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, arguing that 2027 will be his final attempt to run for president.
Naija News reports that Basiru spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He claimed that Atiku was a tax collector who became vice president and is not a professional.
According to him, Atiku has no area of expertise and is simply a trained hygiene expert in Kano.
He said: “Some people just make statements, and I heard one of them say petrol should cost ₦200, which is not possible. He’s just lying.
“You shouldn’t lie to people just to get their votes. Atiku isn’t a professional; he was trained as a hygiene expert in Kano. He’s a ‘wole wole’ man, and we became tax collectors in Customs.
“Where is his expertise? What has he done? Check his profile. Being vice president doesn’t make you an expert.
“Atiku is the ‘Odinga’ of our country, and that’s what the Vice President said. Atiku is running his last campaign, and he will soon realize that the Nigerian people will reject him.”
