MAD, TUNG at daggers drawn over Atiku
A support group The United Nigeria Group (TUNG) has dismissed as ‘puerile rubbish and detachment from reality’ the allegation that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar “is too desperate for power”.
The executive director of “Make A Difference (MAD), a pressure group, recently said that about the former vice president.
Lemmy Ughegbe also suspected Atiku’s exit from the APC to the PDP.
TUNG’s spokesperson Emenena Bright said his group was amused by the sheer childishness of the issues raised by MAD against the former Atiku.
According to him, Atiku is not desperate but passionate to fix Nigeria and get the country working again. The politician is also worried that Nigerians are ever more divided than they have ever been since the Civil War.
He said as a man who believes in excellence, Atiku chose to leave APC to seek an alternative platform to fix Nigeria and get it working again.
Mr. Bright said a situation where six million jobs were lost in two years, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, is a betrayal of the voters who had looked forward to a better life.
He blamed the APC for this, saying the ruling party has betrayed the voters by abandoning its campaign promises, increasing poverty and inflation.
As far as TUNG is concerned, the APC has run out of ideas and, as a result, the economy is abandoned to its fate.
