Former Edo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Kassim Afegbua, has described the presidential declaration of former vice president Atiku Abubakar as an act of desperation, IgbereTV reports
In a statement released yesterday, Afegbua hinted that PDP leadership had settled for the inauguration of the zoning committee, adding that Atiku went ahead to buy the nomination form and formally declared his intention to run without waiting for the decision of a zoning committee.
He said he was opposed to Atiku’s ambition to be president on the platform of the PDP because, according to him, the former vice president was supposed to have led peaceful protests condemning the poor state of affairs in the country.
He wrote: “Atiku ought to have mobilised and sensitised Nigerians against the misrule of the All Progressives Congress, instead of just waiting to throw his hat in the ring for methuselah contest in 2023
