Ruling party’s senators, other may join ex-VP
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday sympathized with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief John Odigie-Oyegun in mockery of the exit of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, from the ruling party.
At the inauguration of a 30-member panel to renegotiate the national minimum wage for workers at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Buhari said to Odigie-Oyegun: “Accept my sympathy for losing a senior member of your party” in an apparent reference to Atiku who last week announced his resignation from the APC.
Although Buhari did not mention Atiku’s name, the former vice president is the latest senior member of the APC to have dumped the party. Atiku last week specifically announced that he was dumping the party for its failure to fulfil its promises to Nigerians.
