Great Shock!!! Commotion As Atiku, Tinubu Join Forces, Turn Against Buhari, APC

Former Vice President and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Atiku Abubakar, has on Wednesday, September 28, joined the National Leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, in calling for the cancellation of the controversial Governorship Primary Election in Ondo State.

This came against the backdrop of the festering crisis trailing the conduct of the APC Gubernatorial primaries, which produced Chief Rotimi Akeredolu, (SAN), as the party’s Governorship Candidate.

Political observers, have maintained that the current re-alignment between Atiku and Tinubu, may be connected to the 2019 Presidency.

Earlier, Tinubu had demanded that the APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, resigns, following allegations that he overruled the decision of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party, on the recommendation of the appeal panel that the Ondo primaries be cancelled, and a fresh one held to choose the party’s candidate.

In a statement released from his media office, Atiku said that the party was supposed to be an impartial entity in the arbitration of crisis among its members, in any given election.

“It was wrong for the APC to have set aside a resolution it had reached, aimed at resolving the crisis i 

n our party in Ondo State. It is a recipe for acrimony and division,” the former Vice President stated.

According to Atiku, the party leadership should always be guided by respect for the rules, fairness, equity, neutrality, and respect for democratic consensus.

The former Vice-President, also noted that pretending that a problem does not exist, will not make that problem go away, and therefore, advised the leadership of the party to do a soul searching, and address why this problem arose and escalated.

He however, urged aggrieved members of the APC in the Ondo election, to exercise restraint in seeking redress to the crisis.

Atiku, admonished the leadership of the party, to retrace its steps and do the needful to restore confidence among the conflicting parties in the State, for the overall benefit of the ruling party.
