The statement added that the administration’s “obsession” with Atiku’s political future reveals a deep concern over the growing national coalition being built to challenge the ruling party. This alliance aims to address economic decline, institutional failure, and democratic erosion.

Atiku reaffirmed his commitment to Nigeria’s future, stressing that his legacy as a reformist and patriot remains intact despite ongoing political attacks.

Atiku’s media office also criticized Bwala for lacking consistency, labeling him a “political turncoat” who once campaigned for Atiku and is now seeking favor from a “floundering administration”
