The Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), a support group for Tinubu, has dismissed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s recent visits to ex-presidents Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and Muhammadu Buhari as futile and insignificant in the context of purported 2023 ambitions.
DOJ characterized Atiku’s engagements with the former presidents as a fruitless pursuit, labeling it as unrealistic and bound for disappointment.
According to the group’s national coordinator, Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje, Atiku’s efforts are deemed as a vain attempt driven by surreal ambitions, contrary to the firm stance that Tinubu’s return in 2023 is non-negotiable, a sentiment echoed by other prominent opposition figures..
“Obviously, Atiku and his handlers have forgotten that power comes only from God and not through the manipulative tendencies of individuals even as they try to mislead the citizens.
“Though the details of his meetings with former Presidents remain sketchy, feelers are that the visit may not be unconnected with the 2027 presidential election. If this is indeed true, then Atiku Abubakar must be told in clear terms that 2027 is not negotiable as far as President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu is concerned.
“Tinubu is a staunch democratic who intentionally refused to disclose all the accumulated crisis of over three decades, he met in the office, but he said, I am fully aware of what I am coming to clear, before I ask Nigerian to vote for me, being a straight forward leader, made some Nigerian sifting all the blame of the present situation on him.
“We will always remind the former Vice President on his debate at Arewa House before the 2023 general election, where he publicly said the Northerners don’t need either Yoruba or Ibos to produce a president.
“This was not the vice president we used to know. His behaviour of late has shown that he is ready to set the country on the part of anarchy to achieve his ambition.
