Honeymoon Between Atiku and PDP Govs Over, Says Ex-VP’s Former Aide
In a statement he issued on the political future of the former vice president, Umar Ardo said: “Reading through Atiku’s last Monday’s press conference regarding the outcome of the Supreme Court’s judgment and his position towards President Bola Tinubu’s Presidency vis-a-vis the following day’s communique of the PDP Governor’s Forum after its meeting at the Oyo State’s Governor’s Lodge, it’s obvious that the honeymoon between the party’s 2023 presidential candidate and its governors is now over.”
He further stated that “while the former impugned on the Supreme Court’s judgment and implicitly rejected President Tinubu’s leadership, the latter expressed “faith and confidence in the judiciary to do justice in political and other cases before the courts.”
“Nothing else can be more explicit in illustrating the two going on their different and separate ways more than this,” he added.
