Daily Post Nigeria Your coalition has crumbled — Presidency mocks Atiku as more politicians join APC Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Politics Your coalition has crumbled — Presidency mocks Atiku as more politicians join APC Published on April 24, 2025 By Ifreke Inyang Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, has claimed that the political ambitions of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s have crumbled. Onanuga believes Atiku’s proposed coalition is falling apart due to the defection of key allies to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. In a post on X, Onanuga criticized the coalition efforts being led by Atiku, which includes a former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, ex-SGF Babachir Lawal, and Labour Party’s vice presidential candidate, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed.
“Atiku’s political future looks bleak. The coalition that he, El Rufai, Babachir, and new member Baba-Ahmed are cobbling together has disintegrated. “Potential allies, including former running mate Ifeanyi Okowa and defunct CPC members, are giving his leprous group a wide berth.
Atiku is a loser again,” Onanuga stated. Onanuga’s comments followed a similar post by fellow presidential aide Tunde Rahman, who noted that PDP’s internal crisis had deepened with the defection of former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and incumbent Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the APC. Rahman described the development as “the biggest shocker ever” for Atiku, whose 2023 presidential bid fell short.
