The Presidency has taken a swipe at former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar following Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s defection to the APC, telling him to retire and head to Dubai.
Bayo Onanuga made the comment in a post on his verified X handle on Friday.
The remark came in the wake of the defection of Ahmadu Fintiri—Atiku’s home state—to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to reports from The Guardian Nigeria, Governor Fintiri officially left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC on Friday.
Reacting, Onanuga said, “Adamawa Governor Ahmadu Fintiri joins the APC taking away Atiku’s entire home base to President Tinubu’s party. This is a big blow for Atiku.
“With the presidential election less than a year away, Fintiri’s defection is surely a big blow to veteran presidential runner Atiku Abubakar.
“His ADC is largely unknown in the state. He certainly needs to reassess his ambition, as his governor has turned the APC into an Adamawa juggernaut.
“If a politician is not so popular at home, he has no business selling his candidacy to outsiders. The time is nigh for Atiku to consider retiring from politics and going to his second home in Dubai.”
