Following Atiku Abubakar’s recent visit to former presidents, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Muhammadu Buhari, there have been various speculations surrounding his actions.

A group supporting Tinubu, called the Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), criticised the former Vice President, describing his visits as unrealistic and fruitless endeavours that will likely end in disappointment.

In a statement released by the DOJ national coordinator, Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje stated that Atiku should understand that Tinubu’s return in 2027 is no--negotiable.

The group suggested that Atiku should be permanently removed from the political scene. Atiku Abubakar has contested Nigeria’s presidential elections six times, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.

Alawuje urged Nigerians not to waste their time listening to Atiku as he has nothing beneficial to offer the country.

“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.

“It is in this regard that, Disciples of Jagaban is calling on Nigerians to start sympathizing with the former Vice President as Nigerians collectively send him on a political hiatus. His latest moves only show the level of desperation in him.

“Nigerians need not waste their time and resources in listening to the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar because he has nothing more to offer. Being a former vice president, he deserves some respect and regard from us. So, the best we can offer him at the moment is to banish him permanently from the political scene.

“His latest permutations to unseat Tinubu in 2027: and the list of the ex-presidents he had visited within a week is getting seriously alarming. Even if he decides to visit either Satan or Pharaoh, nothing can change Almighty God’s decision on Tinubu.

“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,” Alawuje stated.
