Atiku declares, “I’m still friends with Tinubu.”

The presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has a fresh claim against Bola Tinubu.

The politician revealed that he still maintains his friendship with Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate and key rival.

In an exclusive interview with Arise TV that was broadcast on Friday morning, Atiku made this statement.

When questioned about his friendship with former Lagos State governor Tinubu, Atiku said that despite their political disagreements, they still get along well.“I’m still a friend of him and being friends with him doesn’t mean we can’t have our political differences,” Atiku said.

Asked about the potential threat of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to his presidential ambition in the 2023 elections, Atiku clarified that social media presence and acceptability won’t win him (Obi) election.

He noted that despite the social media sensation and acceptability of Obi’s candidacy, the reality remains that the LP does not have people in government nor the National Assembly.

“The Labour Party does not have a government in any state or anyone in the National Assembly. Peter Obi is not a threat. They said they have 1 million votes in Osun on social media. Meanwhile, 90 percent voters are not voting through social media,” Atiku said.
