Atiku’s Empty Rants Won’t Win 2027 – APC Spokesman Blasts Ex-VP

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, has accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of attempting to win public sympathy by constantly attacking the policies of the current administration.

Morka made the remarks while responding to Atiku’s recent comments on poverty and hunger in Nigeria. The former VP had warned that worsening hardship could trigger unrest, citing the French Revolution of 1789, the 1917 Russian Bolshevik Revolution, and the Arab Spring as examples of revolts driven by deprivation and state indifference.

Speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, Morka dismissed Atiku’s position as a desperate bid for relevance and power.

According to him, Nigerians have consistently rejected Atiku at the polls and will do so again if he contests in 2027.

“Nigerians know why he makes these statements. He is desperate for power and believes that by constantly vilifying governments, people will suddenly make him President. But the truth is, Nigerians have rejected him repeatedly, and he remains irrelevant to any serious conversation about the future and prosperity of this country,” Morka said.
