A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe
Igbokwe has rubbished reports of an alignment between former vice president,
Atiku Abubakar and ex-Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, ahead of
the 2027 elections.
There are reports that Atiku, who contested the 2023
presidential election under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had struck a
deal with his Labour Party counterpart, Obi.
The reports indicated that Obi has accepted to deputize
Atiku for just one tenure, suggesting that the former vice president is
aspiring for just a single tenure.
Reacting in a post on his official Facebook page on Monday,
Igbokwe declared that the alignment will not fly, stressing that it cannot
sell.
Igbokwe, one of the supporters of President Bola Tinubu,
wrote, “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar childish and primitive deal with Labour Party is
laughable and kindergarten.
“It is an act of desperation. It cannot fly and it cannot
sell.”
