The All Progressives Congress (APC) has unleashed new responses on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, labeling him an “infamous election loser”.
Gatekeepers News reports this is contained in a statement issued by Felix Morka, national publicity secretary of the APC, on Tuesday.
Morka was responding to claims by Atiku on Monday — he had alleged that his 2023 election mandate was ‘criminally stolen’ from him.
The former presidential candidate of the PDP posted on his X page on Monday that he didn’t lose the 2023 election.
Reacting to the allegations, the APC spokesperson said nobody takes the ex-VP seriously anymore as a result of his long record of electoral defeats, which have even been further certified in Nigeria’s courts.
“Make no mistake. Atiku is Africa’s most infamous presidential election loser. Since serving as vice president, he has lost election to every single president who has been elected to office in Nigeria,” Morka said.
“Six times in the last 17 years, Nigerians have declared their verdict of uncanny desperation and lack of sportsmanship and roundly rejected him at the polls.
“However, a clearly unabashed Atiku continues to lay a bogus claim that he did not lose the 2023 presidential election. That is beyond comical.
“He probably believes that he was cheated out of all the previous five presidential elections that he also lost. Atiku’s inability to come to terms with the reality of his rejection cuts an ominous portrait of extreme and disturbing political desperation.”
