APC tackles Atiku
Meanwhile, the ruling party spokesperson, Felix Morka, stated that Atiku's continuous hunt for Tinubu's ouster from the presidency was motivated because his career was at a standstill.
Morka stated this on Thursday, October 5, while speaking as a guest of the ARISE TV breakfast programme, "The Morning Show".
According to Daily Trust, he said:
“Atiku Abubakar’s political career has come to a standstill. The sun has set on his career. And I think he needs to realise it. He served this country as vice president. He held other positions. That is enough for any individual in this country, who is politically active. I appreciate his service, but he needs to rest this matter."
“There is nothing out of CSU that even begins to suggest that this president, as a student and now as a president, did anything that is questionable or put into question his claims to having graduated from the CSU.”
