Tinubu Govt Is Scared Of Coalition, Wike’s Words Are Influenced By 40-Year-Old Whiskey – Atiku’s Aide

The Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has stated that the 2027 coalition movement is gaining strength.

According to him, many politicians are joining the coalition, which has made the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu nervous.

Speaking in an interview with Vanguard in Abuja on Sunday, Ibe alleged that the APC and its supporters are resorting to baseless attacks on the coalition out of panic over its potential to end their reign.

“They’re scared because they know the coalition represents a formidable platform that could remove this administration. Even if some leaders defect to their political party, the reality is that Nigerians are defecting to the coalition. It embodies their aspiration, a platform to end this failed government,” he said.

Tinubu Government Has Failed

Speaking further, Ibe said the Tinubu government has failed in its primary responsibility of protecting lives and ensuring the well-being of Nigerians.

According to him, the rising cases of killings in Benue and Plateau State is a testament to the government’s failure in handling of critical national issues, particularly insecurity and economic hardship.

“The primary responsibility of any government is to protect lives and ensure the well-being of its people. If they can’t do that, why are they in power?. The value of human life in our country has hit an all-time low, especially under this administration,” he asserted.

He argued that the common man has not benefited from the government, as many Nigerians still struggle to afford food, school fees, and other basic needs, Naija News reports.

“When they claim things are improving, one has to ask: for whom? Certainly not for the common man,” he stated.

Wike Has Been Drinking

Atiku’s aide added that the position of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, on the status of the coalition is not valid.

Responding to Wike’s recent comments describing the opposition coalition as ‘dead on arrival,’ Ibe said the remarks of the former Rivers State Governor are influenced by alcohol, hence can’t be taken seriously.

“Such utterances are likely driven by 40-year-old whiskey, or whatever he’s been drinking for decades. They’re in government; they should focus on governance instead of ranting,” Ibe said.

Also, he accused former presidential aide Reno Omokri, of dishonesty and hypocrisy, particularly, denying claims by Omokri that he recommended Peter Obi as Atiku’s running mate in 2019, a claim Atiku later refuted.

Ibe expressed confidence in the coalition’s capacity to unseat the APC in 2027, starting that coalition leaders are finalising arrangements to unveil their platform.

“Once everything is finalised and the dotted lines are signed, Nigerians will eagerly board this train. That will mark their defection, far more overwhelming than what’s happening with the APC,” Ibe said.
