Personal Assistant to the
President on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, says President Muhammadu Buhari
will defeat former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in any part of the country
when Nigerians go to poll.
Mrs Onochie said this yesterday
in Abuja during her appearance on the weekend edition of Channels Television’s
political programme.
Recall that Atiku announced his
return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday via a live broadcast on
his official Facebook account following his resignation from the APC last
month.
Speaking on the development,
Onochie said: “He (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. President Buhari
is not competing with him at the moment, what he’s trying to do is to put
President Buhari out of the good work he’s doing and to come to wallow in the
mud with him.
“President Buhari is very busy
trying to repair the damage that PDP did for 16 years to this nation, he is
busy with the job of governance and trying to ease the pains that Nigerians
have been going through over the past 16 to 17 years.
“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 of ‘he said, she said”, Onochie said.
On whether Atiku’s exit from the
APC has any effect on Buhari, she said: “The president is not perturbed at all,
he is not moved in any way.
“Alhaji Atiku is known to hobnob
from one party to the other when he cannot have the control of the party. When
he resigned from the PDP some years ago, he gave the same reasons he gave so
many years ago and that’s what he has given again for leaving the APC.”
