An APC chieftain, Alhaji Kehinde Olaosebikan, has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s resignation would not have any significant effect on the party’s fortunes in the 2019 Presidential Election.
Olaosebikan said in a statement that for a politician of Atiku’s status to leave a party almost alone showed that the former vice president had declined in popularity and followership.
The APC chieftain noted that many had expected a torrent of resignations across the country following his exit “but surprisingly, the political space remains silent almost 48 hours after the much hyped resignation.”
According to the Oyo State based politician, the APC will perform better nationwide in the 2019 elections in spite of the defection
He said that Atiku should have exhibited more fortitude and greater mellowness in his dealings with the ruling party rather than abandoning it after all his efforts and contributions to the 2015 elections.
Atiku’s defection is of no effect, says APC chieftain
