Lauretta Onochie, special
assistant on new media to President Muhammadu Buhari, says former
Vice-President Atiku Abubakar cannot win in his local government if he contests
the 2019 presidential election.
Abubakar, who returned to the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday said he will defeat Buhari if he
contests in 2019.
Onochie speaking on Channels TV
said Atiku had lost touch with reality, while trying to bring President Buhari
down to wallow with him in the mud.
She said “Atiku may have had that
weight some years ago but over the years he’s been losing that weight and at
the moment, I can tell you that even in his local government area in his native
Adamawa, he can’t win any election.
“So, where is the weight? I think
Alhaji Abubakar Atiku has lost touch with reality; I think he needs to check
again.
“He is known to hobnob from one
party to the other when he cannot have control in that party.
“President Buhari is not
competing with him at the moment. What he’s trying to do is to pull President
Buhari out of the good work he’s doing and to come to wallow in the mud with
him.
“The president also knows that
the ban on politics has not been lifted; so, he is not going to come out to
wallow in the mud with him.”
When asked on APC’s failure to
provide employment, Onochie said the money laundered in the previous
administration was to be blamed.
“The Buhari-led government cannot
be said to have failed as jobs are being created every day. It is doing all the
best it can. I will not accept nor agree that this government has failed in the
aspect of job creation”, she said.
