Atiku Changes Parties More Than Footballers Change Jerseys — APC Fires Brutal Shot

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s move to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a clear sign of “desperation taken to new heights.”....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, the APC ridiculed Atiku, arguing that his entire political journey has been defined by relentless ambition and an unending cycle of defections.

The party questioned whether Atiku was still seeking power, relevance, or simply another party to destabilise.

Oladejo maintained that Atiku’s latest switch was not a masterstroke but a last-minute effort to stay politically afloat.

He said, “Atiku joining the ADC at 80 is the perfect climax to a career built on nonstop desperation, chronic political restlessness, and an incurable obsession with party-hopping.

Nigerians are laughing, and they should. Because the question answers itself: What exactly is Atiku still looking for at 80?

Power? Relevance? Closure? Or just another party to scatter?

This is a man who has worn more political jerseys than a veteran footballer on a farewell tour—someone who contests presidential elections like a man chasing repayment, not a mandate; who abandons parties, allies, and principles at the slightest discomfort; and who has spent decades auditioning for a job Nigerians have repeatedly told him he cannot have.”

Oladejo added that Atiku’s shift to the ADC “isn’t strategy—it is survival. It isn’t reinvention—it is expiration dressed up as relevance. It isn’t boldness—it is fear.”

He further questioned how Atiku, who failed to stabilise his own party, could possibly repair Nigeria.

“A man who couldn’t fix the PDP wants to fix Nigeria? Let’s be serious.

This is someone who tore the PDP apart, fought governors, disrespected party elders, weaponised internal crisis, and plunged the party into its worst turmoil ever—only to flee like a burglar leaving behind a looted house.

And now, at 80, he wants to start all over again? Start what, exactly? Another cycle of confusion? Another doomed presidential ambition? Another national distraction?”3E
