The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka has fired a ballistic missile at the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, warning him not to contemplate coming back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as he leaves.
Newstracktoday reports that Abubakar has found a resting place in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and has officially resigned from the PDP, his former party.
Wike’s aide also accused Abubakar of destroying the PDP with his presidential ambition.
Newstracktoday also reports that Olayinka said this while featuring as a guest on Channels Television‘s Sunrise Daily programme on Thursday.
Recall that on Wednesday, Atiku announced he had quit the PDP effective Monday, July 14.
The 2023 presidential candidate of PDP cited irreconcilable crises within the party for his decision, which he described as “heartbreaking”.
Reacting, Olayinka said Atiku jumped ship after ruining the party with his presidential ambition.
He asked the former VP not to return to the party once others have joined hands to rebuild it.
Olayinka said, “Today, PDP has been so destroyed and damaged by this one man, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“He is now gone. The first thing I want to say is that, when highly-spirited members of PDP come together to rebuild the party, Atiku Abubakar should not come back after he has failed on his new political journey, because he is going to fail.”
He said the PDP must begin to put its house in order but not necessarily to put up a good showing in the 2027 election.
