The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has taken a swipe at the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, stressing that he is desperate for power.
Morka said this on Monday, while responding to questions in an interview on 'Politics Today', a programme on Channels Television.
He stated that Atiku needs to rest after several unsuccessful attempts at becoming Nigeria’s President.
NATIONAL POST reports that the 78-year-old Atiku was vice president in 1999 and 2007 and had contested for presidency in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023 under different political parties.
The APC spokesman, who was reacting to Atiku’s claim in a statement that there is no sign that President Bola Tinubu can end hunger in the country, argued that Nigerians would reject him at the polls should he join the presidential race again.
“Nigerians are watching, I don’t think Nigerians are paying attention to what he says because they know why he says them.
“He is desperate for power. He thinks that by vilifying governments, making false statements that Nigerians will wake up tomorrow and make him President.
“Nigerians have rejected him so many times. I don’t think these Nigerians are considering making Atiku President.
“He served Nigeria as he did. Today he has become quite frankly irrelevant to any consideration of prosperity to the future of our country,” Morka said.
