WATCH THE VIDEO HERE THE ruling All Progressives Congress on Monday declared that a possible alliance between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party presidential flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar, posed no threat to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. The National Secretary of the APC, Senator Ajibola Basiru, said while commenting on a meeting held by Obasanjo and his erstwhile deputy, Atiku, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Monday. He said, “We don’t react to other people’s acts as a political party. We only do our own things. Presently, our plate is full. We are personally concentrating on how to win and bring Anambra on board for the APC. So, we don’t have time for talks on any political meetings. We also have a responsibility to run the government. “They (Atiku and Obasanjo) are indolent; they don’t have anything to do. So, they can meet any day, any time. Our government is concentrating on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu. We don’t have an issue with some indolent people meeting anybody they want to meet.” On whether they don’t see the gathering of political bigwigs as a threat, Basiru dismissed it as non-issue. “How can people who are in disarray be a threat to a solid political party like the APC? We are talking about a party that is not embedded in any crisis and has high-calibre people who can win elections. Atiku led a high-powered delegation, which included former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, former Governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke, and other political stalwarts to the meeting. The delegation, which arrived at Obasanjo’s Abeokuta residence located within the precinct of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library at exactly 12.37pm, was received by elder statesman, Otunba Oyewole Fasawe.
