Presidency’s Outburst Exposes Tinubu Camp’s Mounting Panic Over Coalition Surge – Atiku Says
The Atiku Media Office has declared that no amount of historical revisionism or sanctimony can obscure the fact that Atiku Abubakar has been a central pillar in Nigeria’s democratic journey since 1999, championing reform, restructuring, and electoral integrity when others chose complicity.
This was as it said that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu camp’s obsession with Atiku’s political future is no coincidence, adding that if, as they claim, Atiku is a spent force, why the relentless smear campaign and the strategic allocation of presidential platforms to attack him?
The media office therefore declared that Atiku will not be distracted by political jesters masquerading as patriots, stressing that the rescue and rebuilding of Nigeria is a task of urgent national importance — far too important to be derailed by the petty ego trips of desperate presidential aides.
It also said that legacy is not defined by the trappings of office but by courage, consistency, and conviction, stressing that Atiku Abubakar’s legacy — as a unifier, builder, and patriot — is deeply etched in the consciousness of millions of Nigerians.
A statement by the Atiku Media Office said that it is impervious to the revisionist bile of yesterday’s defectors turned today’s defenders of dysfunction.
The statement said; “The Atiku Media Office notes with utter contempt the disparaging remarks made by Mr. Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, during a recent interview on TVC.
“It is both ironic and pathetic that Mr. Bwala — a political turncoat who once served as spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s 2023 presidential campaign — now presumes to lecture a statesman of global standing on matters of legacy, destiny, and retirement.
“His sanctimonious pontificating, laced with bitterness and duplicity, betrays a desperate effort to curry favour with a floundering administration clearly shaken by the unstoppable momentum of the national coalition being galvanized by Atiku and other progressive leaders,” it stressed.
The Atiku Media Office further said that Atiku neither seeks nor requires validation from political opportunists who shed principles as easily as they change parties, emphasising that Bwala’s current relevance, if any, is owed entirely to the platform he once occupied under Atiku’s leadership — a fact that should breed humility, not arrogance.
The media office noted Atiku Abubakar remains the single most formidable opposition figure in Nigeria, and the coalition he is forging represents a clear and present danger to the decaying edifice of the ruling party.
It further said; “This broad-based alliance, aimed at reclaiming Nigeria from economic collapse, institutional failure, and democratic erosion, has clearly rattled the ruling elite.
“We reaffirm, unequivocally, that the Waziri Adamawa remains focused and unshaken in his commitment to Nigeria’s future,” it said.
