Turaki’s Stance, a Welcome Development and a Vindication of Atiku’s Politics — Atiku Aide
The Senior Political Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Demola Olarewaju, has reacted to the first interview granted by the new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, describing it as a welcome development and a vindication of Atiku’s long-held political stance.
Reacting on his Twitter handle, @DemolaRewaju, he wrote:
“…This, for me, is not only a vindication of our stance with Atiku Abubakar but a very welcome development that aligns with our broad view of the political space ahead of 2027. Those who want to support Tinubu’s failed government and policies should go and stand together, while those of us opposed to failed governance and in pursuit of a better Nigeria must work together.”
Olarewaju further noted that his principal, Waziri Atiku Abubakar, has remained consistent in insisting that the opposition must unite against the bad governance and harsh policies that have impoverished Nigerians since 2023.
He added: “A pragmatic look at the 2023 electoral results as declared by INEC shows that Bola Tinubu is in Aso Rock today with just a 36.6% plurality — less than a 50% majority win. Atiku has been at the forefront of efforts to forge a robust opposition coalition based on mutual understanding, not just for electoral victory but for good governance that benefits all Nigerians.”
According to him, building a strong opposition coalition is the essential first step toward unseating what he called the failed APC government. He added that if the PDP is willing to think beyond the norm and rise above selfish interests, it will remain a welcome ally to all those committed to the pursuit of a better Nigeria.
