The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, has taken a swipe at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar following his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Atiku, in a statement on Wednesday, announced his departure from the PDP, citing what he described as the party’s troubling trajectory. The move has sent ripples through Nigeria’s political landscape, rekindling debates over his history of political defections.
Reacting in a post on X, Morka lambasted the former presidential candidate, accusing him of being motivated solely by a relentless and self-serving ambition to clinch the presidency.
“Yet again, Atiku uses his revolving door out of the PDP, for the third time all in his desperate but ever elusive search for the presidential Golden Fleece,” Morka wrote.
Describing Atiku as “indisputably the weakest link in Nigeria’s partisan democracy,” the APC spokesman accused him of refusing to do the hard work of party building or staying to resolve internal disputes.
“Driven only by his selfish and obsessive presidential ambition, he claims a birthright entitlement to his party’s presidential ticket to the exclusion of all others,” Morka stated, concluding with a biting remark: “Congratulations, Nigeria’s incomparable political wanderer.”
Atiku’s latest exit marks another twist in his long and storied political journey, raising questions about his next political move as the 2027 general elections approach.
