Tinubu Broke Away When I Supported Yaradua; Where Is The Ground For Him To Say I Betrayed Him?—Atiku Discloses
Atiku Abubakar, the PDP candidate for president in 2023, disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu severed their political ties when he backed Umaru Yaradua in 2007. He also noted that there is no plausible justification for Tinubu to claim that he deserted him. When he received the ticket, he disclosed that Tinubu dispatched six persons to convince him to serve as his running partner.
Atiku Abubakar revealed that he asked them how they would feel if they produced a Muslim ticket because he and Tinubu are Muslims.
According to him, “I beg to disagree with Bola Ahemd Tinubu. Yes, it is true. In 2007, we came together to form AC. And in Lagos, at the convention, I emerged the winner and got the ticket. After I got the ticket, He sent about five or six seniors; some of them are here. I can even name them, but I don’t want to embarrass them, and they met me and said to me that Bola wanted to be my running mate.”
“I said, gentlemen, you’re all old enough, and apparently, all of you are Christians with the exception of one person. What would be your reaction to having a Muslim ticket? All of them said we totally objected to the ticket, so I said then, Why didn’t you tell him when he was given the message that look, Mr. Tinubu, the message you’re giving us, we don’t seem to agree with you? Why are you coming to me? And that was the end of the political relationship. He broke away when I supported Umaru Yaradua. So where is the ground for him to say that I betrayed him?…
