The All Progressives Congress (APC) has voiced its perspective on the recent discussions between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidates for the Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), respectively.

In a statement released by APC's national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, the party characterized the meeting as an act of desperation.

Morka suggested that both Obi and Atiku are driven by a shared ambition to lead Nigeria, criticizing their apparent disregard for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The statement partly read: “Atiku and Obi are united by their mutual desperation to be President of Nigeria and ignoble disdain for President Bola Tinubu’s focused and extraordinary commitment to the transformation of our nation."

The APC also commented on the potential political realignment, expressing little surprise at the prospect of either Obi rejoining the PDP or Atiku switching to the LP, labeling them as political nomads.

The party cautioned Nigerians against placing trust in politicians who, in their view, demonstrate an inability to resolve their party's issues, let alone address the nation's challenges.

“Their restless drift in search of convenient party platforms to execute their presidential run only belie self-indulgent and opportunistic essence of their aspirations.

“Men without the staying power to build or fix their own parties, who flee at the slightest flicker of internal crisis cannot possibly be trusted by Nigerians to tackle serious and complex national, political and economic challenges that confront our nation,” the statement concluded.
