The campaign council says that with the statement, Atiku had cast himself as a northern candidate that should solely be supported by the people from his region.
, Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, is only paying lip service to national unity.
“This clearly demonstrates how low a man once honoured with the second highest office is willing to sink in search of a perennial wild goose chase after the highest office in the land. “This is what the northerner needs; he doesn’t need a Yoruba or Igbo candidate. I stand before you as a Pan-Nigerian of northern origin.’’
He added that the PCC was not surprised at Atiku’s desperate position, stating that he resorted to whipping up ethnic sentiments, knowing that his chances in 2023 had become a mirage.“He has himself and not anybody else to blame for his expected electoral misfortune. First, he broke the fundamental rules of power rotation in his party and the country.
“He has now totally eviscerated all pretensions to being a detribalised Nigerian. He is demonstrably the anti-thesis of a pan-Nigerian politician,’’ Mr Onanuga stressed.
