The ruling party said this while responding to a comment credited to Atiku. The former vice-president had said northerners need aIn a statement on Sunday, Felix Morka, APC spokesman, said Atiku’s comment is an attack on the country’s unity.
Morka said the PDP standard bearer is seeking to inflict Nigeria with discord and strife that he has allegedly inflicted on his party.
“Atiku’s words ring loud of extreme and mindless desperation, and such an extremely desperate man cannot and must not be entrusted with the most important job of President – a job whose core duty is that of leading, uniting and working in the best interest of all in an ethno-religious pluralistic society as Nigeria.
“Our country does not need this kind of highly inflammable rhetoric now or ever. What is even more confounding is that this Presidential Candidate of the PDP has touted himself to be on a mission to unify Nigeria.“The cat has finally been let out of the bag of him that pays lip service to unity while working hard to undermine our national unity. Our Northern citizens and patriots know far better than what Atiku thinks, and will not walk down that slippery slope with him.
