Atiku Abubakar Addresses Criticism Over New Political Coalition

Atiku Fires Back at Critics: Coalition Train Has Left the Station

Listen up, friends. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is not holding back when it comes to addressing the critics of his newly formed political coalition. This coalition, aimed at taking on the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 election, has drawn some sharp words from former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, and ex-Kano State Governor, Ibrahim Shekarau. But Atiku isn’t backing down. Instead, he’s standing firm, asserting that the coalition is all about progress, not personal ambitions.

Now, here’s the deal: George and Shekarau have been vocal about their disapproval of the coalition, claiming it’s just a bunch of people chasing their own interests. But Atiku’s team isn’t letting those criticisms derail their plans. Speaking with Punch, Atiku’s media aide, Paul Ibe, made it crystal clear that they’re not fazed by the backlash. In fact, they’re laser-focused on moving forward and making real progress.

Coalition Gains Momentum Despite Criticism

Let me tell you something: the coalition isn’t just sitting around waiting for approval from its critics. Ibe emphasized that the coalition has already started to gain traction, and they’re not planning to slow down or get distracted by naysayers. The message is simple: if you’re not on board with the coalition’s mission, maybe it’s best to step aside and let them do their thing.

Ibe went on to say that George and Shekarau should keep their comments to themselves if they’re not interested in joining forces. He pointed out that George, in particular, doesn’t have a clue about what the coalition is all about, so his opinions don’t carry much weight. It’s like trying to critique a movie you haven’t even seen—doesn’t make much sense, right?

The Coalition Train Is Rolling Forward

Here’s the bottom line: the coalition is like a train that’s already left the station. It’s picking up speed, making stops along the way, and welcoming anyone who wants to jump on board. If George and Shekarau want to be part of the journey, they’re free to do so. But if they’d rather stay behind, Ibe suggests they keep quiet and let the coalition continue its mission without interference.

Ibe reiterated that critics like George don’t have the inside scoop on the coalition’s plans. They’re outsiders looking in, and as such, their opinions don’t hold much water. The coalition is moving forward with confidence, knowing they’re onto something big. And as for the critics? Well, they can either join the movement or step aside and let the train roll on.
