The All Progressives Congress, APC, has described members of the opposition coalition, Nasir El-Rufai and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as threats to Nigeria.

APC said the decision of Atiku and El-Rufai to hijack the constitution of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, shows that they are a threat to Nigeria.

The National Publicity Secretary of APC, Felix Morka, made the remark in response to El-Rufai’s comment that Nigeria would be in danger if President Bola Tinubu is reelected in 2027.

In a statement he signed, Morka said Atiku and former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi resorted to hypocrisy after losing the 2023 election to Tinubu.

Morka said: “El-Rufai and Atiku want to do to Nigeria what Atiku did to PDP.

“El-Rufai, Atiku and hijacked ADC constitute a clear and present threat to the unity, peace and progress of Nigeria.

“After their crushing defeat at the polls, Atiku and Obi, seemingly, recanted their policy reform positions in order to justify sitting shamelessly at the table of hypocrisy and hurling invectives at President Tinubu and APC for implementing reform policies they also promised Nigerians.”
